Argentina vs Brazil Prediction & Betting Tips (26 March)

Reigning world champion, Argentina will probably be traveling to the United States for the 2026 World Cup, especially since the Albiceleste has won its last two games against Peru 1-0 and Uruguay 0-1 last week of a liberating goal signed Thiago Almada Lyon. First in this South America area, Argentina has the best attack on these 22-goals scored and the 3rd best defense with 7 goals conceded. 5 times world champion, Brazil has not known a large final phase since its success in 2002. Indeed, in 2006, Brazilians fell in the 1/4 final against France, in 2010 against the Netherlands at the same Stade in the Competition Stade, They in 2014 against Germany 1-7, against Belgium in 2018 in the 1/4 final and still in the quarter-final in 2022 in Qatar but this time beaten by Croatia after the penalty shootout.

Last week, of a goal in the money-time of Vinicius Jr, Brazil won against Colombia 2-1, thus taking over 3rd place in these qualifiers. The 2nd place held by the Ecuador is within a range 1 point only. Recall that Brazil had terribly started his qualification campaign badly by chaining no less than 4 games without victory in the period October-November 2023 including 3 defeats against Uruguay 2-0, Colombia 2-1 and this same Argentina 0-1. 

No Lionel Messi for this gathering. The man with 8 gold balloons and 6 goals in these qualifiers (top scorer) injured and remained with his club (Inter Miami). This night, Scaloni will not be able to count on the winger of Juventus Nicolas Gonzalez, excluded against Uruguay at the exit of the bench and therefore, logically suspended. To stay in absences, let's talk about those of Di Maria (international retirement), Castellanos (resumption), the central defender Lisandro Martinez (Man U, injured), the dynamiteur Lo Celso (Bétis, injured) or even the experienced Montiel side (injured) and Acuna (not summoned). Couac for the unfortunate Dybala (AS Roma) victim of a breakdown of the crossed ligaments and end of the season for the Joya. Lautaro Martinez (Inter) is also absent. We will recall the presence in this group of the Marseillais Balerdi, of the formidable Atlético striker of Madrid Alvarez (11 goals in La Liga this season), his comrades in Club Giuliano Simeone, of Paul and Molina without forgetting to quote the left side Lyonnais Tagliafico, Almada (Lyon), Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea), and Mac Allister (Liverpool).

 Not initially summoned for Brazil, the Parisian defender Beraldo was called in reinforcement for the suspension of Gabriel (Arsenal) on this second match of the rally. Also suspension for the holder Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle). Beforehand, Neymar (top scorer in the history of the selection) injured himself and had to throw in the towel. The same sponges were thrown for Casemiro (Man United), the Ederson (Man City) and Alisson (Liverpool), the central defender of Real Madrid Militao, that of the Bremer Juventus, the right side Cuto (BVB) and the Gerson medium (Flamengo), out of injury to Colombia last week. Elements like Antony (Bétis), Martinelli (Arsenal), Lino Dias (Atlético de Madrid), Douglas Luiz (Juventus) and Lucas Paqueta (West Ham) have not been selected. The last city is entangled in sports betting stories.
