CONMEBOL champions Argentina are looking steady in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers with 32 points from 14 games. Brazil’s drop in form has led Lionel Scaloni’s men to close the gap with arch-rivals Brazil to four points. Goals from Angel di Maria and Lautaro Martinez helped them see off the challenge from Chile in the last game. With progress to the main event in Qatar confirmed, Argentina can afford to give their fringe players an outing in these games and build the much-needed squad depth. Colombia are pushing to break into the top four and a win here will give their campaign a significant boost. Argentina versus Colombia starts at 5:00 AM IST.

Nicolas Otamendi, Nicolas Tagliafico, Rodrigo de Paul and Leandro Paredes were booked against Chile and all miss out for Argentina. Papu Gomez is a major doubt for the Colombia clash due to an ankle injury and will undergo a late fitness test to determine his availability. Angel Correa on the wings can be a difficult player to man-mark and Colombia will need to pay special attention on him. Giovani Lo Celso will have the playmaking onus on him with Lionel Messi missing in action.
Yerry Mina has returned to Everton with a suspension preventing him from participating in the game against Argentina. William Tesillo is set to partner Davinson Sanchez at the heart of defence and the duo should expect a busy game. Falcao, who still remains his country’s best bet to get important goals despite turning 35, plays as the no 9. Mateus Uribe flanks Falcao in the attacking third but he can drop deep to orchestrate play as well with ease.
