Brazil vs Argentina: match preview

Brazil vs Argentina is one of the spiciest rivalries in soccer. There's no love lost between South America's big two with a shared history of barnstorming fixtures, on-field fights and drinks bottles laced with tranquillisers, so expect fireworks. The last time the pair met at the Maracanã was in the 2021 Copa America final, won by Argentina as Leo Messi won his first major international tournament. 

Brazil has made an unexpectedly poor start to World Cup 2026 qualifying. A Seleção has won just two of its first five matches, losing its two most recent fixtures to Uruguay and Colombia. Though six of the 10 teams qualify by right for the finals, caretaker boss Fernando Diniz – who also doubles as Fluminense manager – will be desperate for his side to get back on the winning trail. They'll have to do so without injured pair Neymar and Vinicius Jr, the latter tearing a hamstring in the 2-1 defeat to Colombia last Thursday. Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli scored in that loss and will again look to add some thrust to a team short on confidence.

Argentina, meanwhile, lost its first fixture since the surprise defeat to Saudi Arabia in the World Cup 2022 group stage in Qatar a year ago. The reigning world champions lost 2-0 to a resurgent Marcelo Bielsa-managed Uruguay on Thursday but still top the group with four wins from five. Messi remains the star and, despite this technically being his off-season with Inter Miami not in the MLS play-offs, returns to the site of his first major honour for his country. Though the antipathy is fierce between both countries, there's a certain respect for the great No10 in Brazil, but once the game kicks off, Lionel Scaloni's side should expect an atmosphere as hostile as it gets.
