The current world champion achieved a perfect score (6 points) in the first two days of qualifying thanks to the victories against Ecuador (1-0), with a great goal from Lionel Messi from a free kick in Buenos Aires, and against Bolivia in La Paz, with goals from Enzo Fernández, Nicolás Tagliafico, and Nicolás González.
On this third day, La Scaloneta starts as a great favorite to beat Paraguay, which only has one point after the goalless draw at home with Peru and the defeat at the hands of Venezuela in Caracas with a goal from Salomón Rondón. Argentina wants to maintain its leadership in the classification that it shares with Brazil and, for this reason, it summoned its main figures for this new double date such as Messi, Julián Álvarez, Lautaro Martínez, and Emiliano Martínez.
The most important casualties in Argentina are those of Lisandro Martínez and Ángel Di María. Both report injuries. However, the return of Marcos Acuña stands out, who was the big absentee from the first two dates of the Conmebol Qualifiers due to a tear in his right leg.
It should be remembered that, precisely, Argentina and Paraguay will be the organizers of the 2030 World Cup along with the countries of Uruguay, Portugal, Spain, and Morocco. A decision by the president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, has caused a great debate in the sports press.
