The Indian boys will be up against Argentina in search of a coveted FIH Junior Hockey World Cup bronze medal at Chennai's Mayor Radhakrishnan Stadium on Wednesday (December 10). The Indians, who lost the bronze-medal game to Spain in the previous edition of the tournament in 2023 and to France in 2021, will look to break the jinx and end with a podium finish this time around.Having slumped to a 1-5 defeat to Germany in the semifinals on Sunday, the two-time World Cup champions will need to put the ignominious defeat behind them and start afresh for the big game.Unlike the Indians, who steamrolled the opposition in the pool stages, Argentina had a far harder time getting to the quarterfinals. As compared to India, which finished as the first-ranked side among all six pool toppers, Argentina ended up at the bottom of the list.While India had Switzerland, Chile and Oman to contend with in the preliminaries, Argentina was confronted with more formidable opposition in the form of New Zealand, Japan and China.The 2021 champions scored 10 goals and conceded 5 in the pool stages while also splitting points with New Zealand. India, meanwhile, scored 29 goals with none against.The Argentinians defeated a strong Netherlands team 1-0 in the quarterfinal before losing 1-2 to Spain in an all-Hispanic semifinal.The Indians will be wary of Bruno Correa, even as the Argentinians take the field in a 4-3-3 formation, compared to Sreejesh's boys, who are playing in a 4-4-2 for the most part.Prince Deep Singh bore the brunt of India's defensive woes against Germany and will need to regain his confidence in goal alongside Bikramjit Singh for the big medal game.Dilraj Singh and Arshdeep Singh will need to combine effectively up front, unlike the game against Germany, where the passing in the attacking circle went awry. The overlapping runs were not timed to perfection in the semifinal, something the team management would have worked on ahead of Wednesday's game.Despite being an incredibly talented side, the Argentinians are not in the same league as Germany, and the Indians will fancy their chances of ending their home World Cup with a medal in Chennai.
