class=\"mux-lineup-narrative\">Argentina line up in a 4-4-2 against Switzerland&rsquo;s probable 4-3-3, though the Swiss formation carries less certainty, drawn from a single predicted source rather than confirmed reports. <strong>Lionel Messi<\/strong> and Juli&aacute;n &Aacute;lvarez form the attacking partnership, with the midfield tasked with controlling tempo against a Swiss unit built around Granit Xhaka&rsquo;s industry.<\/p><p class=\"mux-lineup-narrative\">Switzerland&rsquo;s defensive solidity, anchored by Manuel Akanji and Nico Elvedi, will be tested by Argentina&rsquo;s fluid movement between the lines. The confidence gap in the Swiss lineup is worth bearing in mind: Murat Yakin may yet adjust his shape before kickoff, making their tactical setup the key uncertainty heading into this quarter-final.<\/p><div id=\"mux-odds-compare-ext\" class=\"mux-widget\">\n    <div class=\"mux-oce-header\"><h3>Odds comparison<\/h3><\/div>\n    <div class=\"mux-oce-table-wrap\">\n        <table
