Argentina begin their World Cup qualifying campaign without the services of Lionel Messi with the team facing Ecuador and Paraguay in the next week.

First up is heavy underdog Ecuador on Friday, with Sergio Aguero leading the front line. Ecuador has just four wins in 32 all-time meetings against the team currently ranked No. 1 in the FIFA World Rankings. Argentina are coming off a Copa America final appearance, a win over Bolivia and a draw with Mexico in friendly matches.

The match is expected to kick off 8 p.m. EST and will be seen on BeIN Sports (US) after the Brazil/Chile match is completed.
