On November 20, the World Cup Qatar 2022 will kick off, and it is the event that all soccer fans around the world have been waiting for in these almost never-ending four years. And while there are still days to go before the inauguration, the qualified teams are putting the finishing touches on their teams with the intention of putting on a show and getting results to fight for the gold cup.

United Arab Emirates Preview
The United Arab Emirates has two matches scheduled for this November, the first against Argentina on Wednesday and the second against Kazakhstan on Saturday, November 19.
The team has not seen action since last September, and the last memory it has is a 4-0 loss to Venezuela. However, it has a four-game winless streak, having previously drawn 1-1 against Gambia, and lost 1-2 to Australia and 1-0 to Paraguay. Their last win was a 1-0 victory over South Korea in March.
Absences: Not reported.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Ali Khasif; Khalid Al-Hashemi, Mahmoud Al Hammadi, Bandar Al-Ahbabi, Marwan Ibrahim; Ali Salmeen, Majid Rashid, Abdulla Hamad, Abdalla Ramadan; Caio Canedo, Mohamed Al-Maazmi.
Argentina Preview
The champion of the Americas, Argentina, is ready to close ranks and begin its journey towards the World Cup Qatar 2022. The team coached by Lionel Scaloni is unbeaten in 35 matches and will try to extend that record, which would serve as a boost before their debut.
The Albiceleste have been impressive and have scored goals in their last three friendly matches, beating Estonia 5-0, Honduras 3-0 and Jamaica 3-0, demonstrating their attacking power. Everyone wants to see Lionel Messi in action, but he may not play the entire game, given the group stage matches are to come.
Absences: Not reported.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Emiliano Martínez; Nahuel Molina, Nicolás Otamendi, Lisandro Martínez, Marcos Acuña; Guido Rodríguez, Leandro Paredes, Enzo Fernández; Paulo Dybala, Lautaro Martínez, Ángel Di María.
JefeBet Prediction
With Messi on the field, Argentina has a plus over all rivals. But this match, regardless of whether he appears or not, looks like a winnable one for Scaloni’s team, especially against an opponent that has trouble winning, and has only two victories in eight matches this calendar year.
Prediction: Argentina wins by 5-0.
