In the sixth round of these qualifying rounds, Argentina will visit Brazil at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro, while Uruguay will host Bolivia at the Centenario stadium in Montevideo.

Argentina vs Uruguay - Starting lineups

  • Argentina: Damián Emiliano Martínez; Nahuel Molina, Cristian Gabriel Romero, Nicolás Otamendi, Nicolás Tagliafico; Rodrigo De Paul, Alexis Mac Allister, Enzo Fernández; Nicolás González, Julián Álvarez and Lionel Messi.
  • Uruguay: Sergio Rochet; Matías Viña, Mathías Olivera, Sebastián Cáceres, Ronald Araújo; Nicolás de la Cruz Arcosa, Manuel Ugarte Ribeiro, Federico Valverde; Maximiliano Araújo, Darwin Núñez, Facundo Pellistri.

Argentina vs Uruguay Preview

Argentina had to perform with and without Messi during the early stages of the qualifying campaign and found a way to win each time. Having the Ballon d’Or winner around after recovering from a recent injury will be an advantage, even though he has only played once in the last 25 days.

This suggests that Lionel Scaloni can make important variations without affecting the team’s performance. However, they will face a tough opponent that will be looking to give the first blow to the locals in these South American qualifiers and will have an experienced coach like Marcelo Bielsa as their standard bearer.
