Argentina and Lionel Messi are back in action at La Bombonera to take on Peru in 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying action.

La Albiceleste will be hoping to get back to winning ways after their recent 2-1 defeat in Paraguay, which saw Lautaro Martínez’s 11th-minute goal canceled out by a goal in either half from the home side.

Argentina remain three points clear at the top of the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying standings with 22 points after 11 matchdays. The reigning Copa América and World Cup champions could potentially move to five or six points clear at the top of the table with a win against Peru and if Uruguay and Colombia drop points in their respective matches.

Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni will be without a few key players, such as Cristian Romero, Nicolás Gonzalez and Nahuel Molina, but his team should have enough quality to take the three points and move one step closer to the ticket to the United States , Canada and Mexico. in 2026.
