Historically, Argentina has a great record against Paraguay. They have played each other 108 times, and La Albiceleste has won 58 of those matches. While Paraguay has only 16 victories over Argentina. If they want to add another, they have to be at their best in this match.
However, their last meeting took place last year for the Conmebol World Cup Qualifiers. The match ended in a 1-1 draw. Forward Ángel Romero scored first thanks to a penalty and then Argentinian Nico González made the equalizer.
Of course, this result shows that Paraguay can trouble Argentina, even if they are not the favorites. But still, La Albiceleste has a better team on paper and they have an opportunity to show their hierarchy.
