Matchday 12 of the South American 2022 World Cup Qualifierswill conclude an exciting triple-fixture in the October international window. Argentina and Peru will face off on today at Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires. The game will be broadcast in the US by fuboTV.

La Albiceleste have been flying in the tournament as they hold the longest unbeaten record on the planet right now with 23 undefeated matches under their belts. Last time out, Lionel Messi led a fantastic, 3-0 win over Uruguay, in whichhe scored the opener.

La Blanquirroja, on the other hand, couldn’t build from their much-needed win over Chile as they were upset by Bolivia in the high altitude of La Paz. Therefore, they’ll be urged to get a result in Argentina, although it doesn’t seem easy.

Lionel Scaloni willmake a few changes for this game, although Argentina’s lineup willlook practically the same that we use to see every time they play. His doubts were on the flanks, whereMarcos Acuña will replaceNicolas Tagliafico at left-back, while Nahuel Molina kept his spot over Gonzalo Montiel. Additionally, PSG star Angel Di Maria will be back in the lineup replacingNicolas Gonzalez.

The absences ofRaul Ruidiaz, Paolo Guerrero, Edison Flores, Renato Tapia, Luis Advincula, and Yordy Reynaagainstthe 2021 Copa America winnerswill mean a huge challenge.
