The South American Qualifiers are getting close to the end of the road as the World Cup draws nearer. Argentina welcome Colombia to the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes in Cordoba today, February 1, on Matchday 16 of the Conmebol competition. The hosts, who will be without Lionel Messi, want to extend their fantastic unbeaten streak, while los Cafeteros know they need a win to stay close to the World Cup places in the table. Here, you will find the preview, information, storylines, predictions, odds and how to watch or live stream free this WCQ clash in the US.

La Albiceleste once again head into a World Cup Qualifier game in high spirits as a result of their great form in the tournament. Lionel Scaloni's men got the job done against Chile last time out and head back home aiming to extend their unbeaten run.

On the other hand, Los Cafeteros will travel to Córdoba with their World Cup aspirations on the line. Reinaldo Rueda's men have failed to pick up a victory or score in their last six games, a terrible streak they want to end to remain alive in the battle for a Qatar 2022 berth.

Argentina vs Colombia: Storylines and Head-to-Head

Argentina are going through their best moment in recent years. Not only they have ended a long drought by winning the 2021 Copa America last year, but they also clinched a Qatar 2022 berth with four games to go. Unsurprisingly, La Albiceleste kicked off the year of the World Cup on the right foot by taking care of business in Chile. Will they record another victory without Lionel Messi?

The outlook is much darker for Colombia. Los Cafeteros' place in the next World Cup is in jeopardy following a terrible run of form in the Qualifiers. Last week, Rueda's side has done everything but put the ball in the back of the net against Peru, who took home the three points in a frustrating day for the hosts. Now, Colombia are under serious pressure to get a result in Argentina.

This will be the 18th meeting between these national teams in a World Cup Qualifier game. Argentina have the edge with 10 victories, while Colombia emerged victorious only three times, and they drew on four occasions.
