Argentina vs. Bolivia: 2016 Copa America Date, Time, TV Schedule and Live Stream

James DudkoJun 13, 2016

Argentina can win Group D ahead of the quarter-finals of the Copa America Centenario by beating or drawing with winless Bolivia at Seattle's CenturyLink Field on Tuesday.

It's tough to bet against arguably the most talented squad at the tournament, one blessed with a host of marquee forwards, including Lionel Messi and Gonzalo Higuain. Yet Argentina are sure to miss the creative influence of Angel Di Maria, who will sit out due to injury.

Before taking a closer look at the game, here's a rundown of the schedule and viewing details:

Preview

Bleacher Report's Rik Sharma provided confirmation of the ailment that will keep Di Maria out beyond this game:

The Paris Saint-Germain schemer will be a big miss because his technical quality and vision knit every phase of Argentina's passing together. More importantly, Di Maria is often the player who provides inspiration and speeds things up in the final third.

His nifty touches, imaginative passing and natural flair create the supply line Messi and Co. need to thrive. Fortunately, Argentina's No. 10 is as creative as he is prolific. Di Maria's absence will increase the burden on Messi to be both goalscorer and provider.

Thankfully, Messi already looks in lethal form at this tournament. He netted a hat-trick last time out against Panama despite entering the match as a substitute with less than 30 minutes left, per Michael Dwojak of the Chicago Tribune.

The tournament's official YouTube channel relayed highlights:

It's tough to imagine Bolivia will be able to keep Argentina's strike force under wraps, even if they were a bit unlucky last time out against Chile. In that 2-1 loss, it took a late, disputed Arturo Vidal penalty to condemn Bolivia to elimination, according to AFP (h/t Fox Sports Australia).

Argentina have justified their favourites tag through two group games, but the impact of losing Di Maria can't be understated.

Playing without their chief creative force may eventually stunt the best attacking side at the tournament, even if the problem won't show up against Bolivia.

Prediction: Argentina 2-0 Bolivia
