FIFA World Cup Qualifying Bolivia vs Argentina


FIFA World Cup Qualifying
Bolivia vs Argentina
16:00 ET

One of the unmissable encounters of this 2nd date of the Qualifiers for Qatar 2022, will be the duel that Argentina will have to face against its Bolivian counterpart at the height of La Paz. A game that has brought more than one problem to Argentina in past qualifying rounds, particularly the defeat of Diego Maradona's albiceleste 6-1 in favor of the Bolivian team, which is why the Argentine team's planning for this encounter brings a series of measures to avoid hot flashes like those of the past.

For its visit to Bolivia, Argentina intends to make several changes to the formation that narrowly beat Ecuador 1-0 at home. Lionel Messi will command the national team, which will arrive two days before in Bolivia to adapt to the altitude, a determining factor in the games played in the highlands.

While the Bolivians will go with everything after falling 5-0 against Brazil, in a match where they did not have a chance against the five-time world champions and current Copa América champions. The win hurts for the squad led by César Farías, so beating Argentina is a significant challenge and can also mark a turning point on Bolivia's path to Qatar 2022.

The Bolivian team hopes to become strong at home, to make the most of the climatic advantages in order to rescue as many points at altitude.
