They may be current World Cup and Copa America champions, but their last two results show defeat to Colombia and a draw against Venezuela. It feels more like a blip than anything systemic, though, as they still top the 10-team CONMEBOL 2026 World Cup qualifying table at the halfway stage.

Today's opponents are an on-song Bolivia, having won their last three qualifying games and beaten the high flying Colombia last time up. Óscar Villegas's men are seeking an unlikely qualification to their first World Cup since 1994.

Talismanic captain Lionel Messi is expected to start today's game at the Estadio Monumental, but inspirational keeper Emiliano Martinez is serving the second of a two-match suspension. Bolivia will have to do without midfielder Hector Cuellar after he was sent off in their last game.
