Argentina will face off against Paraguay up next in the World Cup qualifiers at the Estadio Defensores del Chaco on Thursday.
Lionel Messi and co. have a three-point lead at the top of the standings over second-placed Colombia. They have lost only against Colombia in their last 16 games across all competitions.
The visitors will be confident of getting three more points, fresh off the back of a 6-0 win over Bolivia in their last outing. Tenth-placed Paraguay, who have managed to win only two out of their last seven fixtures, will be hoping for a mid-week miracle.
