Argentina topped the South American qualifying group winning nine, drawing five and losing just two of their 16 matches. Then, la Albiceleste won their last two recent preparation matches, first against Trinidad and Tobago and three days later against Slovenia.
Alejandro Sabella looks set to line-up in a 4-3-3 formation with Messi and Aguero sure to be involved while Higuaín has a minor ankle problem and could be replaced by Lavezzi. Garay and Fernández should start at centre-back ahead of Martin Demichelis with Javier Mascherano anchoring the midfield and Real Madrid star Angel Di Maria initiating attacks from a deeper position..
Bosnia just shaded top spot in their Euro zone qualifying group ahead of Greece. After being surprisingly defeated by Egypt back in March, the team embarked on a four match consecutive winning streak, defeating two World Cup contenders, Ivory Coast and Mexico along the way.
Miralem Pjanic will be the key player in midfield while Edin Dzeko and Vedad Ibisevic have been both in fine goalscoring form during qualifying. Begovic will start between the posts while Lulic and Misimovic will support the attacking duo.
Argentina won the last meeting between these two sides, with Aguero scoring twice in a 2-0 friendly victory last year in an International Friendly that took place in the United States. Messi and Higuain were both absent for Argentina.
