Paraguay vs Argentina: Where to watch in USA and UK

The international break features a set of FIFA World Cup qualifiers this week as Argentina lock horns with Paraguay on Thursday. Argentina have grown in stature under Lionel Scaloni over the past year and hold a distinct upper hand going into this qualification clash.

Paraguay have punched above their weight in recent months but have largely been inconsistent in their qualification campaign. The home side edged Venezuela to an important 2-1 victory last month and will want a similar result from this match.

Argentina, on the other hand, have been exceptional under Lionel Scaloni and have managed to end their trophy drought this year. The Albicelestes are unbeaten in their last 22 matches and will rely on Lionel Messi to pull off another magnificent spectacle on Thursday.

Aditya is a European and international football writer at Sportskeeda, covering previews, news, post-match articles and live blogs for 5 years. During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.
