Argentina vs Paraguay with Leo Messi (Final score)

How to watch the game Argentina vs. Paraguay

With important losses such as those of the injured Angel Di María, Lisandro Martínez and Paulo Dybala, Argentina awaits Paraguay on Thursday at the Monumental boosted by a resounding 3-0 victory against Bolivia at the height of La Paz, which allows it to have a perfect score in two games and extend the undefeated duels in the playoffs to 23.

Against the Albiceleste it will not be the best scenario for the debut of Argentine Daniel Garnero at the head of Paraguay after the resignation of his compatriot Guillermo Barros Schelotto, who barely earned a point in these two games of the World Cup.

La Albirroja must begin to reverse a long period of low competitiveness, which includes its absence in the last three World Cups.

And the occasion is in this long qualifying round (until September 2025): with six direct places available for the 2026 World Cup in North America and a playoff for the seventh against a team from another continent, there are not too many excuses left with 10 teams in contention.
