First-place Argentina look to get back to winning ways when they host sixth-placed Bolivia for matchday 10 of 2026 CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying. The bookmakers have the world champions as heavy favorites. Will La Albiceleste make easy work of their opponents or will La Verde spring a surprise? Let’s dive into the match prediction!

Argentina top the South American qualifying table with 19 points thanks to a 6-1-2 record. They hold a three-point lead over second-place Colombia and a seven point lead over their opponents today.

However, they haven’t experienced the best of returns to qualifying action after winning their second consecutive Copa America in the summer. A 2-1 away loss to Colombia in September was followed up by a 1-1 draw to Venezuela in their most recent outing. It marks the first time in over three years that the Argentines have gone two matches without a win (June 2021).

With that being said, La Albiceleste arguably couldn’t have asked for a better ‘get right’ game than against Bolivia, a team they have outscored 12-2 in their last four meetings.

Bolivia come into this match riding high after taking the full nine points from their last three qualifying matches. Among those was a shock 2-1 victory over Chile, which was Bolivia’s first away qualifier win in 31 years.

Last time out, Bolivia pulled out another improbable result after beating Colombia 1-0 in El Alto despite being reduced to 10 men after just 20 minutes. They are now sitting in an automatic qualification spot in sixth place but hold a slim one-point lead over Venezuela in seventh.
