Argentina will hope to bounce back from their disappointing loss last week when they host Peru in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying match on Tuesday.
Lionel Messi and his teammates were dealt a surprise 2-1 loss by Paraguay, which meant they have only won one of their previous four World Cup qualifiers.
Meanwhile, Peru were held to a goalless draw by Chile in their previous game and are currently out of the qualification bracket.

This CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying clash takes place at Estadio Alberto Jose Armando in Buenos Aires, Argentina and kicks off on Tuesday, November 19 at 9:00 p.m. local time.
Here’s how that time translates across the U.S.:
Cristian Romero along with Lisandro Martinez will miss this match for Argentina as they are dealing with injuries.
As a result, Argentina are likely to start with Nicolas Otamendi and Leonardo Balerdi at the center of defense for this game. Lionel Messi will continue to lead their attack, paired up with Julain Alvarez on the wings.
Argentina predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): E Martinez (GK) — Molina, Balerdi, Otamendi, Tagliafico — De Paul, Fernandez — Messi, Mac Allister, Alvarez — L Martinez.
Injured: Romero, Lisandro
Suspended: None
Apart from Pablo Guerrero, who will take a late fitness test before this game, Peru have no other fitness issues coming into this match.
In case Guerrero can’t start, Gianluca Lapadula should take his spot in the starting lineup. Sergio Pena may start in midfield despite being subbed off at half-time in Peru’s draw with Chile.
Peru predicted XI (3-5-2, right to left): Caceda (GK) — Corzo, Araujo, Callens — Polo, Sonne, Cartagena, Pena, Advincula — Guerrero, Valera.
Injured: Guerrero (doubt)
Suspended: None
Argentina are unbeaten in this fixture and have won 10 of the last 14 meetings with Peru, which gives them a huge morale boost ahead of this game.
Lionel Scaloni’s side have hit a bit of a slump in recent games. However, they should easily run through the second-bottom side in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers and move one step closer to securing their spot for the 2026 World Cup.
