Football Prediction
South American rivals Brazil and Argentina will lock horns in a 2026 World Cup qualifier on Tuesday evening after both teams lost their last games.
The Canarinha sit outside the four automatic qualification places in the CONMEBOL table ahead of welcoming the world champions to Rio De Janeiro, having lost to Colombia last time out.
Brazil’s form in this qualification process has been far from impressive, with the Green and Yellows boasting a record of two wins, one draw and two defeats to collect seven points, which has left them in fifth position, five points behind leaders Argentina ahead of Tuesday’s clash.
H2H / Stats
Brazil have failed to score in their last three meetings with Argentina.
Brazil wins: 46
Argentina wins: 41
Draws: 26
Team News
The chief fears for Brazil ahead of this clash have surrounded Vinicius Jr, who is set for a ten-week lay-off after injuring his thigh in the defeat to Colombia. Already short of Neymar and Richarlison, Fernando Diniz will be desperate to have Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus back to lead the line alongside Gabriel Martinelli and Rodrygo.
Scaloni is expected to resist the temptation to shuffle his pack following the disappointment of the defeat to Uruguay last time out. However, there could be an alteration in the final third of the field, with Lautaro Martinez likely to be introduced, which could see Nicolas Gonzalez drop down to the bench.
Probable Line Up
Brazil XI: Alisson; Emerson, Marquinhos, Magalhaes, Lodi; Guimaraes, Andre, Luiz; Rodrygo, Martinelli, Raphinha
Argentina XI: E. Martinez; Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Tagliafico; De Paul, Mac Allister, Fernandez; Messi, L Martinez, Alvarez
Verdict
Both sides are looking to bounce back from their losses in the last games. While Brazil has injury issues, Argentina hasn’t been at their best too but rivalries have a way of pulling up a few surprises.
