Center-back Tomas Aviles is suspended for the fixture as a result of being booked twice in the Guatemala win, as Federico Redondo is likely to deputise.

Being involved in two goals the last time out including scoring one, Maximo Perrone is an important link from the middle.

Alejo Veliz should continue to lead the line of attack, while Luka Romero will push for a start ahead of Matias Soule after the former scored coming off the bench on Tuesday.

The other change could be Roman Vega being preferred over Valentin Barco at left-back.
