La Albiceleste’s campaign to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia has failed to dazzle so far; however, Argentina have slowly been returning to form as back-to-back wins in round 4 and 5 have seen the South America powerhouse move up to 5th.
With the return of influential captain Lionel Messi after missing the first four games through injury, La Albiceleste earned a hard-fought 2-1 win over Chile in their last match to clinch their 8th point of the qualification round, and are now level on points with Paraguay.
Next up for Leo and Co. is a home clash with Bolivia. Will they grab their third consecutive win?
Team news – who’s fit and who’s not?

Julio Cesar Baldivieso will also be without a few key players for the trip to the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes, as the likes of Walter Veizaga, Morales, Lizio and Zenteno are all sidelined with injuries.
Arce also misses out on Tuesday’s game, but through suspension.
Head to head
