Preview
Argentina head into this one on the back of their previous clash against Brazil being abandoned due to interference of health authorities.
A number of Argentina players travel against the restrictions enforced due to which play was suspended.
The Copa America winners have won their last 8 matches across all competitions and are in absolutely flowing with regards to form.
They are 2nd in the table with 15 points from 7 matches and are favourites to qualify.
On the other hand, Bolivia is struggling in 9th place with 6 points from 8 matches and with no wins since June, 2021; things don’t look pretty for Farias’ side.
They lost 4-2 to Uruguay in their last match which was their 4th defeat of the campaign.
De Arracaeta scored a brace with strikes from Valverde and Alvarez as well. Moreno scored a brace for Bolivia which did not prove much in the end result but gave them a glimmer of hope.
Both sides met in the Copa America South Zone group stage last where Argentina won 4-1.
