The FIFA World Cup Qualifiers are back in action with another round of CONMEBOL matches this week as Peru lock horns with Lionel Scaloni's Argentina side in an important encounter at La Bombonera in Buenos Aires on Tuesday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this year and will want to win this game.
Argentina vs Peru Preview
Peru are in ninth place in the CONMEBOL qualification standings and have not been at their best over the past year. The away side played out a 0-0 stalemate against Chile last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Argentina, on the other hand, are at the top of the qualification table and have been in excellent form this year. The Albiceleste slumped to a damaging 2-1 defeat at the hands of Paraguay in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.
