Three extreme rendezvous of rivals on the field of Bolivia ended with two confident victories for hosts (6:1 and 2:0) and one draw (1:1). In general, out of the 7 previous fights in La Paz, the Argentines were able to win only once with four defeats.
Bolivia
Failing to hit the ground running in their previous game, the Orange Army were comfortably usurped by Rajasthan Royals the latter winning by five wickets. Partnering brilliantly in attack, Manish Pandey and David Warner managed a staggering 73 runs between themselves. With some brilliant attacking efforts in the closing innings, both Priyam Garg and Kane Williamson flourished. In that game, their bowlers were also on fire, beginning the match on the front-foot. They did particularly well in reducing RR to 78/5 in 12 overs. However, their lack of inconsistency cost them later on as performances dwindled drastically. To the dismay of coach Trevor Bayliss, his bowlers conceded a massive number of runs in the last 6 overs. Surely, hell expect a much better showing from these ones on Tuesday.
Argentina
Argentina put 3 points in its piggy bank. Lionel Scaloni’s team beat Ecuador 1:0 in the starting game of qualifying for the World Cup. The only goal in this meeting was scored from the penalty spot by Lionel Messi. The last defeat in official matches the Argentines suffered in July, last year they lost with a score of 2:0 to the Brazilian national team.
Prediction
Bolivia has just suffered a major defeat. The team conceded five unanswered goals from Brazil and is ranked last in the group. Argentina had won a modest victory over Ecuador the day before, with Messi's only goal from a penalty spot. The location of the meeting will be important. The Hernando Siles Stadium in La Paz is located 3.6 km above sea level. It is extremely difficult to play here without acclimatization. For example, in 2017 Argentina lost to Bolivia here 0:2 and with Brazil in the same year they parted by zero. Visiting the Bolivians, Argentina won the last time already in 2005. Based on this, it is worth taking a closer look at the double chance. 1x can be played for 2.04. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 2.04 Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
