Argentina vs Bolivia Tips
Tip 1
The hosts have conceded in their last two outings and in three of their previous six fixtures – coming against teams in a similar ballpark as Bolivia in the form of Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador.
Bolivia have recovered from a eye-watering 5-0 defeat to Uruguay in front of goal at least, netting in the four games proceeding that: once against Panama, four times versus Venezuela, twice against Chile and once more versus Colombia.
Without heroic goalkeeper Emi Martinez between the sticks, the likelihood of Bolivia breaching their goal increases dramatically.
Tip 2
That being said, the World Cup holders still have an abundance of outfield talent to record the victory without any major problems.
Although they’ve lost twice and drawn once during nine qualifiers, La Albiceleste have been victorious in 11 of their last 14 games and there isn’t much to suggest that Wednesday’s contest will play out any differently.
