Argentina will be looking to get their Copa America 2015 campaign back on course tonight after their surprise opening game draw against Paraguay.
Lionel Messi's Argentina enter this year's Copa America competition as hot favourites to win the title, however, their opening fixture evidenced that they have a long way to go and a lot of hard work to do before they can even think about lifting the trophy.
In their opening encounter against Paraguay, things were going as planned, and they were 2-0 up, looking confident and as if they could score a hat-full of goals. However, they took their foot off the peddle and Paraguay pounced to take advantage, scoring two goals to erase Argentina's to goal lead, and end the game with a 2-2 draw.
That result will have been a massive disappointment for Messi and his team, and they know they can ill afford any slip ups tonight.
Their opposition for Tuesday night's game, Uruguay, are currently sitting top of the group, following their 1-0 win over Jamaica. They also will not be very happy with their performance, as many had expected Uruguay to play much better and produce a much more overwhelming scoreline against the relative minnows of the group, Jamaica.
However, they got the three points they needed, which means if they can pull off a surprise victory over Argentina tonight they will guarantee their qualification for the quarter finals, and at the same time plunge Argentina into panic mode.
Seeing as they got their three points from their opening game, a draw tonight against Argentina would be a very good result for Uruguay, as it would leave them in a very strong position to progress going into their final game against Paraguay later this week.
A draw here would also not be the end of the world for Argentina as it would give them two points from their two games, and a win over Jamaica in their final group game would see them move to five points and could end up throwing things into a three-way tie with Paraguay and Uruguay - if Paraguay defeat Jamaica as expected today, and if Paraguay and Uruguay draw their final game against one another.
That circumstance may be ok for Argentina, as they would be facing Jamaica in their last game, and if things come down to goal difference they would certainly be expected to defeat the West Indian team by more than the solitary goal Uruguay overcame them by.
However, Argentina are unlikely to want to leave anything to chance, and they will no doubt be entering today's big game with Uruguay looking for the full three points and to establish themselves as the dominant team in the group.
