Latest team news for Argentina vs Colombia
Julian Alvarez continued to impress with a goal against Chile, bringing his total goals in the qualifiers to four, and the Manchester City striker is becoming a key player in Argentina's attack.
Lionel Messi, after coming on as a substitute for Nico Paz in the second half, could return to the starting lineup next Tuesday. The superstar has six goals in the qualifiers and remains an indispensable leader for the team.
For Colombia, striker Jhon Duran's participation is uncertain after being substituted in the first half of the previous match, but the team will welcome back Luis Diaz after his suspension. The Liverpool star – who is currently tied with Messi for the top scorer position (6 goals) – has a chance to overtake him if he continues to score.
James Rodriguez remains the heart of Colombia's attacking play with 9 clear-cut chances created and 5 assists – the highest numbers in the team – and is expected to shine in this crucial match.

Latest football match prediction: Argentina vs Colombia
Despite having already officially secured their place in next year's World Cup finals, the Argentine team maintained their impressive form by defeating Chile 1-0 in their most recent match.
This victory marks the fourth consecutive win for coach Lionel Scaloni's team, bringing their total to 11 wins after 15 matches, giving the reigning world champions a 10-point lead over the rest of the pack with only 3 games remaining.
This gap means Argentina cannot be overtaken at the top of the group, but they are still aiming for their 12th win in the South American qualifying round to extend their impressive run.
Not only have Argentina been winning consistently, but they have also demonstrated superior strength at home, securing four consecutive victories since their 0-2 defeat against Uruguay in November 2023. Since the beginning of 2024, they have won every match at home.
Notably, "La Albiceleste's" attack has scored three or more goals in three of their last four home games – specifically, the 3-0 victories against Chile, the 6-0 win against Bolivia, and the 4-1 win against Brazil – while their defense has maintained remarkable solidity.
In their first home game since their resounding victory over rivals Brazil, Argentina will look to extend Colombia's run of disappointing results.
Under coach Nestor Lorenzo, the Colombian national team had an eight-match unbeaten run at the start of the campaign, although half of those were draws. However, things started to go downhill after their 2-1 victory against Argentina last September.
Since that victory, "Los Cafeteros" have only won 1 more of their 7 qualifying matches, losing 4 and are now on a 5-match winless streak.
Of those defeats, three came against direct competitors such as Uruguay, Ecuador, and Brazil – directly impacting their chances of qualifying for the World Cup.
With 21 points after 15 matches, Colombia is currently in sixth place – the last direct qualification spot for the World Cup. However, Venezuela is close behind with only 3 points less and is in good form, meaning Lorenzo and his players cannot afford to be complacent.
A defeat against Argentina wouldn't be a disaster, but if Venezuela gets points against Uruguay, Colombia could see their points total leveled or their lead narrowed ahead of the final two crucial matches.
