Brazil's O Fabuloso and the Chilean Chupete currently lead the scorers' charts with nine goals apiece in South Africa 2010 qualifying and have the opportunity to reach double figures against Venezuela and Ecuador respectively. Coming up on the outside are the seven-goal duo of Bolivia's Marcelo Martins and Uruguay's Diego Forlan, though the latter would surely put a Celeste success over Argentina ahead of any individual glory.
The stat
33 - The number of years since La Albiceleste last beat Uruguay in Montevideo. That 3-0 friendly victory came on 9 June 1976, with the pair's three FIFA World Cup qualifying meetings in the city ending in two draws and one Charrúa triumph.
The words
"There's no chance of any funny business in the game against Ecuador. The simple fact that I'm Argentinian will see to that. We're going to do everything we can to take all the points at stake in this match," Chile coach and former Argentina supremo Marcelo Bielsa.
