Scotland head to the Atlantic resort city of Mar del Plata on Saturday aiming for a second win against Argentina and a historic first overseas Test series victory.
The Pumas are out for revenge having lost their unbeaten record at Tucuman last weekend, Dan Parks kicking all of the tourists' points in a 24-16 success.
Scotland have made just one change to their starting XV, winger Simon Danielli coming in as part of a rejigged back division.
Danielli will take his place on the left flank, allowing Sean Lamont to change wings and Max Evans to switch to his more accustomed role at outside centre.
Nick De Luca is relegated to the bench, meaning there is no place for Jim Thompson in the match-day 22, while Alasdair Dickinson is preferred to Geoff Cross among the replacements.
Argentina have also freshened up things behind the scrum with a couple of changes.
Scrum-half Agustin Figuerola has been drafted in for Alfredo Lalanne and Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino gets the nod on the left wing ahead of Lucas Borges, who drops to the bench.
Santiago Guzman and Rafael Carballo will be among the replacements with Mariano Galarza and Ignacio Mieres missing out, while Nicolas Vergallo will be the replacement scrum-half.
