2012 African Champions, Zambia will face the World champions in a high-profile match on Tuesday scheduled for 22:00 local time (01:30 CAT) early Wednesday in Lusaka.
Last week on Friday, Argentina beat Mauritania 2-1 as part of their preparations for the upcoming World Cup this year.
In the meantime, Zambian striker Kingstone Mutandwa has revealed that the team is hoping to capitalize on the lack of speed in the Argentine squad at La Bombonera Stadium in Buenos Aires.
Speaking after the team’s first training session in Buenos Aires, the SV Reid forward states that the team has analyzed Argentina’s style of play ahead of the match.
“The team is recovering as well. The weather is good, so we are really recovering. Of course, our main focus is on discussing the game,” Mutandwa said.
“We watched the match Argentina versus Mauritania. It was really a good game, an interesting game to watch, so of course we are discussing how we are going to play so far.
“Of course, Argentina can say they do a lot of tactics. A tactical team. They don’t run, of course. They have many old players, so as for us, I think we just need to adapt to any tactic that they use.”
He anticipated Argentina will make some changes to the squad that faced Mauritania in Friday’s international friendly.
“They will change a lot of things. To see the game that they played yesterday, of course they will have a different tactic against us,” he concluded.
Mutandwa has played 21 matches for SV Reid this season, scoring 9 goals and providing two assists.
