On November 15 2016 at 23:30 in the upcoming game of the CONMEBOL 2018 World Cup qualification Argentina national team meets Columbia national team.
As the leader of Argentina national team said, “The team is in bad conditions and we need to improve the situation”. The loss to Brazil 3:0 in the latest game made Argentina take the 6th place in the standings, which means that for now they are not in the promotion zone. We must also admit that before that latest game Argentina lost to Paraguay 0:1 and before that drew Peru 2:2 and Venezuela 2:2.
As for Columbia, they took part in the final part of the World Cup very seldom. Their best achievement is making it to the quarterfinal of the competition in 2014. In the current qualification they still have really good chances to become the participants of the World Cup 2018 in Russia. After 11 games played they have 18 points and take the third place in the table with 15:12 goal difference.
Argentina won most of the games played between the teams. Of course, the class and the individual quality of the players of Argentina are definitely higher than their competitors’ ones. Yet, the fact that the squad isn’t balanced enough may be a serious problem for Argentina. Anyway, Argentina definitely understand how serious the situation is and how much they need that three points. We think that the hosts will manage to concentrate and win the upcoming game.
Prediction for the match: Argentina to win.
