The CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers are back in action with another set of matches this week as Colombia take on Lionel Messi and Lionel Scaloni's Argentina side in an important encounter at the Estadio Mas Monumental in Buenos Aires on Wednesday. Both teams have good players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Argentina vs Colombia Preview
Colombia are in sixth place in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualification standings and have been inconsistent this season. The away side played out a disappointing 0-0 stalemate against Peru last week and will look 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 over the past year. The Albiceleste edged Chile to a narrow 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
