Argentina and Lionel Messi return to action at La Bombonera to face off against Peru in 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifying action.
La Albiceleste hopes to get back to winning ways after its recent 2–1 defeat at Paraguay in which Lautaro Martínez's 11th-minute strike was canceled out by a goal in both halves by the hosts.
Argentina remains three points clear at the summit of the CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifying standings with 22 points after 11 matchdays. The reigning Copa América and World Cup champions could potentially move to five or six points clear at the top of the table with a win against Peru and if Uruguay and Colombia drop points in their respective matches.
Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni will be without a few key players in Cristian Romero, Nicolás Gonzalez and Nahuel Molina, but his side should have enough quality to get the three points and move one step close to punching its ticket to the United States, Canada and Mexico in 2026.
