Colombia vs Argentina: Storylines

Despite the heat in Barranquilla, Argentina has been able to get some good results in the Colombian city. La Albiceleste won the last two times that they played there for the Qualifiers. Actually, Argentina has a favorable record in the city: three wins, one draw and one loss.

But those victories didn’t come easy. The two of them were tight, with only one goal of advantage. However, Argentinians can remember with a smile how their team fought hard to win 2-1 on the road to Brazil 2014 with goals from Lionel Messi and Kun Agüero. Last time, Lucas Biglia was the only scorer.

Now, Colombia wants to change that. After a bad start in the tournament with Carlos Queiroz, new coach Reinaldo Rueda found a way to win. To Colombia it is important to recover the points lost last year.
