South American leaders Argentina will play at Paraguay on Thursday, shortly after fourth-place Brazil visits Venezuela.</p>
<p>Also on Thursday, host Ecuador and Bolivia will face off in Guayaquil. Potentially the most interesting match of the 11th round will be played on Friday in Montevideo, where third-place Uruguay hosts second-place Colombia. The bottom two in the 10-team standings, Peru and Chile, will meet the same day.</p>
