LIVE: Bolivia vs Argentina

The players are out and kick-off is just moments away.

Argentina have lost just seven of their last 40 meetings with Bolivia; winning five of the most recent six.

With Argentina's place in the knockout stages already secured, Lionel Scaloni makes six changes from the win over Paraguay. But the big news surrounds a certain Lionel Messi, who becomes his country's record appearance maker outright with 148. Meanwhile, Sergio Aguero earns his 100th cap.

Cesar Farias makes four changes to the side that began Bolivia's defeat by Uruguay last time out. Gilbert Alvarez replaces Rodrigo Ramallo at the spearhead of the attack, while Boris Cespedes and Diego Bejarano come into midfield and Luis Haquin is recalled in defence. However, captain Marcelo Moreno must settle for a place on the bench once more.

SUBS: Agustin Marchesin, Juan Musso, Nicolas Tagliafico, Leandro Paredes, Nicolas Dominguez, Nicolas Gonzalez, Julian Alvarez, Nicolas Otamendi, Lucas Martinez Quarta, Lautaro Martinez, Giovani Lo Celso, Rodrigo de Paul.

ARGENTINA (4-2-3-1): Franco Armani; Gonzalo Montiel, German Pezzella, Lisandro Martinez, Marcos Acuna; Guido Rodriguez, Exequiel Palacios; Angel Correa, Lionel Messi, Papu Gomez; Sergio Aguero.

SUBS: Javier Rojas, Marcelo Moreno, Henry Vaca, Erwin Sanchez, Rodrigo Ramallo, Juan Carlos Arce, Moises Villarroel, Enrique Flores, Jairo Quinteros, Diego Wayar, Jose Sagredo, Ruben Cordano.

BOLIVIA (4-1-4-1): Carlos Lampe; Erwin Saavedra, Luis Haquin, Adrian Jusino, Roberto Fernandez; Leonel Justiniano; Jeyson Chura, Ramiro Vaca, Boris Cespedes, Diego Bejarano; Gilbert Alvarez.

Argentina can secure top spot in Group A today; providing they match second-place Paraguay's result against Uruguay. Meanwhile, bottom side Bolivia's elimination has already been confirmed, but La Verde will want to exit the competition on a high.
