Argentina on the other hand, has been inconsistent defensively and offensively throughout the year. Their star player Lionel Messi will miss the match due to an injury. La Albiceleste comes in to this match with many doubts after drawing 0-0 with Chile last Friday.

Agrentina has an excellent record against Mexico with 15 wins, 14 draws, and five defeats. Last year La Albiceleste faced the Mexicans twice and won both matches 2-0 in Argentina.
