Argentina vs Bolivia Prediction & Match Preview

Argentina vs Bolivia Prediction

Argentina increased the gap at the top of the South American World Cup Qualifications standings despite drawing 1-1 at Venezuela on Thursday.

They did so thanks to Uruguay’s and Colombia’s slip-ups last week.

Argentina are now three points clear at the top of the standings. They are eight points above the playoffs positions at the halfway stage of the qualifying campaign.

The stalemate at Venezuela was the second consecutive slip-up for Los Gauchos, following a 1-2 defeat in Colombia last month.

Lionel Scaloni’s squad have a great chance to return to winning ways on Tuesday evening. They host continent minnows Bolivia in Matchday No 10 in Buenos Aires.

The visitors will come into this on a high after a magnificent display in a 1-0 win over Colombia despite playing 70 minutes with 10 men on the pitch.

The Bolivians moved their national stadium from La Paz to El Alto which is 500 feet higher. This will not do them a big favour ahead of an away fixture against the reigning world champions, though.

Bolivia traditionally play incomparably worse on travels than at home due to the famous difference in altitude for their home outings.

They are now up against the world champions who are highly motivated to return to winning ways after successive failures in the last two qualifiers.

Argentina have three wins in four home outings in this qualifying term. They also won nine and drew two of the previous eleven home meetings with Bolivia, with a 31-3 goal difference along the way.

The commanding home win has to be the only logical betting option here and we will back the Argentines to win by three or more goals difference as the main bet at the odds of 1.60.

Alternatively, the Argentine talisman Lionel Messi is 3.10 to score the first goal of the game. We expect the Inter Miami superstar to start once again on Tuesday.
