Argentina vs Bolivia Preview

Argentina’s near-perfect World Cup form meets a Bolivia side who have lost three of their last five when the sides meet at Mario Alberto Kempes on Wednesday. Argentina’s form has been excellent bar one result, losing 1-0 to Spain after extra time in their most recent outing which ultimately ended their World Cup run finishing 2nd. Before that, a 2-1 away win over England had continued a fine run, following a 3-1 home win over Switzerland after extra time the game before. Further back, Argentina beat Egypt 3-2 and Cape Verde 3-2 after extra time, both at home, to open the sample. Across these five matches Argentina have taken four wins and a single loss, with three of those wins needing extra time to settle.

Bolivia’s run has turned sour of late, losing 0-4 at home to Algeria in their most recent outing. Before that, a 0-4 home defeat to Scotland made it back-to-back heavy losses, following a 2-1 away defeat to Iraq the game before — three straight losses. Further back, Bolivia won 2-1 at home over Suriname and 3-0 at home over Trinidad & Tobago to open the sample. Across these five matches Bolivia have taken two wins and three losses, with the Algeria and Scotland games their heaviest defeats.

Argentina have won every meeting in this sample, five from five, with Bolivia yet to take anything from the fixture across this run. The most recent meeting finished 6-0 to Argentina at home in October 2024, following a 3-0 away win the year before. Mario Alberto Kempes hosts Wednesday’s game, and Argentina have been utterly dominant throughout this run, also winning 3-0 at home in 2021, 4-1 away in the Copa América that same year, and 2-1 away in 2020.
