After 15 years, Argentina won again at La Paz in the World Cup qualifiers

In the opening series, Uruguay vs. Chile was the earliest match and also the most notable match. The 2 teams have a passionate, bloody, and passionate style of play that always creates great collisions, whether friendly or Copa America or World Cup qualifiers.

After that, Messi’s Argentina will host Ecuador at home. Ecuador used to be a very nasty opponent in South America, but in the past few years, they have been in considerable decline. Argentina lost only 2 out of 10 times to meet Ecuador recently and the last time they defeated their opponents to 6-1 in October last year when they played a friendly match.

Neymar’s Brazil will start at the latest, against the weakest rival in the region, Bolivia, 3 points are almost in the pocket of teachers and coaches Tite. Colombia is also likely to have a good start with the match against Venezuela at home.

Argentina and Brazil maintained the winning streak

After 2 matches, only Argentina and Brazil remained the two teams that maintained the winning streak. Brazil came as a visitor to Peru after crushing Bolivia 5-0 on the day of departure. However, the 3 points Selecao won in Lima is not easy at all.
