Argentina vs Bolivia Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

La Albiceleste dropped two points against Venezuela in their last game.

Argentina are on top of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers table and will host Bolivia in their next game. The reigning South American and World champions have accumulated 19 points in their opening nine matches. They have six wins, one draw, and two losses in their qualifying campaign so far. La Albiceleste recently travelled to Venezuela and played out a 1-1 draw.

The pitch conditions during that game were horrendous and the game was even delayed by 30 minutes. Although the team dropped two points, Lionel Scaloni will be happy that none of his players came out injured.

Bolivia on the other hand are coming into this game after a massive win against Colombia despite being a man down. Bolivia handed Los Cafeteros their first loss of the campaign and are currently sitting on sixth place in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers table. They have collected 12 points in their opening nine games and are poised to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1994.

Players to watch out for:

Lionel Messi (Argentina)

Lionel Messi returned to the national team against Venezuela last week as he missed September’s international break due to injury. He looked sharp in that game but difficult playing conditions restricted his effectiveness on the pitch. However, this time he will be playing at home and will be very committed to returning to the scoresheet for his team.

Miguel Terceros (Bolivia)

The 20-year-old will be filled with confidence coming into this game. The player led Bolivia to a 1-0 victory over Colombia recently. The youngster is making a name for himself already and is deemed to be the next big Bolivian talent. He has already scored three goals for Bolivia in just four appearances in the current qualifying campaign.
