Argentina welcome Venezuela to Buenos Aires on Friday for their final home game in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying, with Lionel Scaloni long since having booked their spot at Qatar 2022.

The two-time world champions are so far unbeaten in the qualifying tournament and are just four points behind leaders Brazil, meaning they still have plenty of motivation to try and claim a strong result.

Venezuela for their part are bottom but an unexpected win in the Argentine capital could see them overtake Paraguay and restore some much-needed pride.
