Argentina vs Brazil: Match Time, Venue, and All the Information You Need
Argentina wants to ensure that they qualify for the FIFA World Cup in 2026. On March 25, they will face their bitter rivals, Brazil, in the tournament qualifier. Buenos Aires is where the game will take place.
Despite Lionel Messi’s absence, Argentina is in the lead in the standings. The 2022 World Champions defeated Uruguay 1-0 in their last meeting. To secure their spot in the 2026 World Cup, Argentina needs to earn one more point from their remaining five qualifying matches. According to the CONMEBOL ranking, Brazil is ranked third. With a victory, they hope to surpass their fiercest opponents.
Argentina vs Brazil Prediction
Argentina has an advantage over Brazil in the forthcoming matchup because of their recent performances. When it comes to home games, they also have a solid record. However, Brazil’s formidable offensive will be a formidable opponent. For either side, Raphinha, Vinicius, and Rodrygo present a formidable obstacle. They have played a significant role in Brazil’s recent triumphs. Overall, the game is expected to be an exciting competition.
Important Absences: Neymar and Messi
Even though both clubs are without players, football fans can still anticipate an exciting game. Lionel Messi, the captain of Argentina, will not play because of an adductor injury. Messi sustained an injury on March 23 while playing for Inter Miami against Atlanta United. There is no estimated time of his return. The legendary player had also missed Argentina’s match against Uruguay.
Due to a thigh problem, forward Lautuaro Martínez has also been left out of the team. Gonzalez received a red card, which resulted in his suspension. Giovani Lo Ceslo, Paulo Dybala, and Alejandro Garnacho are also questionable for the match. The primary striker is anticipated to be Julián Álvarez.
Brazil is also having problems. Alisson Becker, the goalie, may miss the next game since he had a concussion during the play against Colombia. Neymar is also sidelined because of injury. Brazil defeated Colombia 2-1 in their most recent match.
Argentina’s Potential Starting Lineup:
Martinez; De Paul, Palacios, Mac Allister, Fernandez, Almada; Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Tagliafico; Alvarez
