Argentina vs Bolivia: Preview
Just over two months on from the World Cup final, Argentina return to action in a very different setting from the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
The Albiceleste’s first outing since they relinquished their title to Spain sees them host Bolivia at Córdoba’s Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium, which is reportedly set to operate at a reduced capacity of less than 30,000 after FIFA sanctioned Argentina for chants by their fans during the World Cup.
Another major difference will be the absence of Lionel Messi, who retired from international football at the end of last month. We will get to witness the little maestro in blue and white one more time, though, with next week’s friendly against Benin at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires serving as the 39-year-old’s farewell game.
Before then, Argentina have this friendly against Bolivia and a weekend run-out against Burkina Faso, also at the Monumental, with manager Lionel Scaloni reportedly set to rotate as he works out his best side without Messi.
Other notable absentees include the banned trio of Leandro Paredes, Nahuel Molina and Thiago Almada, as well as suspended coach Roberto Ayala, following their actions during the World Cup.
However, several high-profile names are set to feature, including Emi Martinez, Julian Alvarez and Lautaro Martinez, so Argentina should still have more than enough to see off a Bolivia side ranked 78th in the world.
FourFourTwo’s prediction
Argentina 2-0 Bolivia
The Albiceleste will surely be too strong for their visitors, regardless of how much Scaloni rotates his lineup.
