Game Preview

Argentina currently leads the qualifying round with 18 points, four points ahead of Uruguay. The team has won six of its seven qualifying matches. Colombia is in third place with 13 points and three wins and is yet to suffer a defeat.

La Albiceleste holds the all-time record in head-to-head matches with 26 wins. Colombia has nine wins and eight draws. Colombia will be looking to avenge the emotional narrow defeat in the USA. They were also beaten by Argentina in the qualifiers for Qatar 2022.

It's a different Argentina team than many are used to. The team that won the last World Cup and two consecutive Copa Americas is still number 1 in the FIFA rankings and has suffered only two defeats in its last 64 games. But they are missing some key players.

It is only the second game since coach Angel Di Maria retired from the international stage and Lionel Scaloni took over, and Messi's absence also leaves a deep void.

Paulo Dybala has taken on the unenviable task of taking Messi's place, scoring the third goal in the 3-0 win over Chile, joining goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Julian Alvarez.

Lautaro Martinez's extra-time heroics at the Copa America also cast a large shadow over him, as he is sure to incur the wrath of the opposing nation.

Due to injuries, Nicolas Tagliafico, Leonardo Balerdi and Exequiel Palacios will miss the game for Argentina.

Unbeaten Colombia drew 1-1 with Peru. Luis Diaz's spectacular goal in the 82nd minute helped the team to an important point. Los Cafeteros are led by supernova James Rodriguez, who played just 45 minutes in the last game.

The Colombians will have to do without experienced goalkeeper David Ospina and defender Davinson Sanchez.

The best six teams from each group qualify for the World Cup. The team in seventh place takes part in the playoffs of each confederation.

Will Lionel Messi play for Argentina?

Argentine football icon Lionel Messi has been left out of the 28-man squad following an ankle injury sustained in the 2024 Copa America final against Colombia.

What are the expected lineups for the Argentina vs Colombia match?

Argentina: E. Martinez, Molina, Romero, L. Martinez, Otamendi, De Paul, Enzo Fernandez, Lo Celso, Dybala, Lautaro Martinez, Alvarez

Colombia: Vargas, Mojica, Lucumi, Mina, Munoz, Lerma, Rios, Rodriguez, Diaz, Sinisterra, Cordoba
