Wales earned a victory over Fiji to kickstart their Nations Championship campaign but a much sterner test awaits at the Estadio San Juan del Bicentenario on Saturday night when they take on Argentina.
The wounded Pumas will head into this game on the back of a 47-38 defeat to Scotland last weekend in Cordoba and the hosts will be desperate to produce a positive response.
Wales secured a 39-24 victory over Fiji at Cardiff City Stadium last Saturday and the Red Dragons will know they will need to be even more accurate with and without the ball to go toe-to-toe with the Pumas in San Juan.

Argentina v Wales Prediction
Best Bet: Argentina -16.5 handicap @ 10/11
Wales kicked off their summer campaign in the Nations Championship with an impressive victory over Fiji at Cardiff City Stadium, producing a dominant second-half display.
However, they face a far tougher assignment this weekend when they travel to San Juan.
Argentina were exposed defensively during last weekend's defeat to Gregor Townsend's Scotland in Cordoba, despite showing plenty of attacking quality.
Felipe Contepomi's side will be eager to tighten things up without the ball and deliver a more complete performance on home soil.
The returns of Marcos Kremer, Ignacio Ruiz Elias and Justo Piccardo provide a timely boost for Los Pumas, who are aiming to make it three successive victories over Wales.
Argentina have the quality to respond positively after last week's setback, and they look well placed not only to claim the win but also to cover the -16.5 handicap on offer here.
Alternative Bet: Over 63.5 total points @ 10/11
With mild and dry weather expected in San Juan, it will be perfect conditions for running rugby on Saturday.
Having played out an 85-point game against the Scots, another high-scoring encounter involving the Pumas looks to be on the cards here.
Argentina won 52-28 when they last faced Wales in Cardiff last year and going for the over 63.5 total points in San Juan gets the green light here.
Argentina v Wales Bet Builder Tip
Argentina to win
Tomas Albornoz anytime tryscorer
Josh Adams anytime tryscorer
Pays 13/2
With Argentina backed to claim the victory on Saturday, both Tomas Albornoz and Josh Adams are also tipped in the anytime tryscorer market.
Wearing the No.10 jersey for Argentina this weekend, Albornoz has shown recently he’s not afraid to go for the line himself, as well as being a strong distributor.
Scoring three tries in his last three appearances for Toulon in the Top 14 season, Albornoz is good value to go over for the Pumas.
Meanwhile, Adams is likely to be a key attacking threat for Wales and is tipped to follow up with another tryscoring performance, having touched down against the Fijians last weekend in Cardiff.
