Argentina and Brazil are set to meet in a blockbuster match in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers this Wednesday. heading into the match, Argentina lead the standings with 28 points and Brazil are third on 21. We have a prediction for the match below.
Argentina haven't had a smooth run in the qualifiers but are very close to securing their ticket. The world and South American champions are coming off a 1-0 away win in Uruguay.
They will be seeking a 10th win in these qualifiers, which will extend their unbeaten run against Brazil to five matches. In their last 18 matches, Argentina suffered only two defeats.
For the first time in two years, Brazil have gone unbeaten in five straight competitive matches. In their most recent match, they needed a stoppage time Vinicius Junior goal to beat Colombia 2-1.
That marked their third win in the run of five matches but they have just one clean sheet. It hasn’t been easy for Brazil in this qualification journey, as they have lost four times already.
However, with a stable run lately, they’ll be confident heading to Buenos Aires. In their last four meetings with Argentina, Brazil failed to score, and lost three times.
For the 38th time in their history, Brazil and Argentina will be facing off. Brazil still have the head to head advantage 19th 19 wins but Argentina are closing in, currently on 10 wins. Heading into this match, the odds are stacked against Brazil, who have lost three of their last four meetings with Argentina.
These two nations’ rivalry, however, has seen a reduced number of high-scoring matches, with only one in 10 meetings producing over two goals. Our prediction for Argentina v Brazil is Argentina to win and under 2.5 goals.
