The challenges of Argentina and Brazil
Although the Argentine team continues to lead the standings, its position is at stake. With the technical direction of Lionel Scaloni and the leadership of Lionel Messi they will have to get more points to remain at the top, since 12 points are not enough to be sure when the Uruguayan team already has 10 points and the Colombian team with 9.
Brazil also has to strengthen its position in the table, since with only 7 points the teams of Ecuador, Paraguay and Chile threaten to surpass it. These three teams have 5 points, just two points less than the Portuguese speakers. Under the command of Fernando Diniz the team will seek to make use of its home advantage.
