Paraguay vs. Argentina: Date, Time, Live Stream for 2018 World Cup Qualifier

Christopher SimpsonOct 12, 2015

Argentina will be hoping to get their 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign back on track against Paraguay on Tuesday after they lost 2-0 to Ecuador in their last outing.

Paraguay, meanwhile, come into the game on the back of an important 1-0 win away in Venezuela.

It's still early days in the race to qualify, but with Chile, Colombia, Uruguay and traditional powerhouses Brazil all likely to contest the four automatic places with Argentina, it's crucial they don't lose early ground to their rivals.

Argentina Looking to Bounce Back After Ecuador Defeat

La Albiceleste were stunned last time out thanks to two rapid-fire goals from Frickson Erazo and Felipe Caicedo as they sank to defeat on their own turf in Buenos Aires.

The defeat could be viewed as an ominous sign, per football writer Sam Kelly:

Despite the loss, that isn't likely to happen to Argentina due to their vast array of quality. However, that quality will be somewhat dampened on Tuesday night.

Already missing Lionel Messi due to his injury accrued with club side Barcelona, Gerardo Martino's men are now set to be without another star after Sergio Aguero limped out of the Ecuador clash with a hamstring injury, with BBC Sport reporting the forward could be out for a month:

Of course, Argentina have plenty more attacking talent to call upon as PA Sport (h/t ESPN) report Carlos Tevez is due to start up front alongside Paris Saint-Germain's Angel Di Maria and Angel Correa of Atletico Madrid.

The impressive trio already have 10 goals and seven assists between them in all competitions this season, though, as Kelly demonstrates, Tevez isn't as incisive as Aguero for his national side as he is at club level:

Indeed, Kelly wasn't impressed with the striker's performance—or those of his team-mates, for that matter—against Ecuador:

Following the disappointing result, Tevez has warned against complacency going into the match with Paraguay. Per PA Sport's report, he told Ole.com.ar:

"

We didn't start our qualifiers on the right foot but we have another chance on Tuesday. Qualifiers are difficult and it was evident on Thursday that they are more difficult than a Copa America or a friendly match.

We lacked attitude on Thursday and that is something we spoke about. The team did not turn up at any time and that is what most concerns us.

"

Avoiding complacency will be particularly key given Argentina's recent record against La Albirroja.

As PA Sport notes, La Albiceleste have scored 20 goals in a five-game unbeaten run against Paraguay, most recently demolishing them 6-1 in the Copa America semi-final.

Argentina's struggles to impress without Messi or Aguero will likely produce a much closer game on Tuesday.

The likes of Derlis Gonzalez and Lucas Barrios could cause their uninspiring defence some problems as Ecuador did, but Argentina should still have enough about them to grind out a win.
