The Clasico del Rio de la Plata is back as Uruguay host Argentina at the Estadio Campeon del Siglo in the World Cup qualifiers. Uruguay are currently placed sixth in the league table with just sixteen points from twelve games while Argentina are at second place with twenty five points from their eleven fixtures. As things stand, Argentina are well set to qualify directly for the World Cup while Uruguay are short of an inter-confederation play-offs spot at the moment. Uruguay come into the game with a 4-1 defeat to Brazil, thus extending their winless streak to three matches and are currently on a two-game losing streak. They also have lost their last two meetings against Argentina as well including a 3-0 defeat back in October.

Argentina come into the game with a 1-0 win over Peru. They are now unbeaten for twenty-five straight games across all competitions and have kept five clean sheets in a row. The clean sheets have come up against teams like Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay themselves and Peru in the most recent game. They also have a decent head to head record against Uruguay and are unbeaten against them in the last six meetings. Argentina are firm favourites coming into this fixture.
