The FIFA World Cup qualifiers are back in action with another set of matches this week as Bolivia take on Lionel Scaloni's Argentina side in an important encounter at the Estadio Mas Monumental on Tuesday. Argentina have a good squad at their disposal and will be determined to win this game.
Argentina vs Bolivia Preview
Bolivia are in sixth place in the CONMEBOL qualification standings and have not been at their best this season. The away side edged Colombia to a narrow 1-0 victory last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Argentina, on the other hand, are at the top of the qualification table and have been excellent so far this season. The Albiceleste were held to a 1-1 draw by Venezuela in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this week.
