Argentina vs Uruguay Preview, prediction, injury news & lineups | International friendly 2026
La Albiceleste emerged victorious when these sides last met!
The Argentina national football team will battle it out against the Uruguay national football team in what is going to be an international friendly contest. This is going to be a high-voltage contest, which is scheduled to take place at the Estadio Alberto J. Armando.
Argentina are now going to be without Lionel Messi for the first time in years. The 39-year-old announced his international retirement and competed in his farewell match against Benin during the last international break. La Albiceleste secured a 3-0 victory.
They are now on a three-match winning run after their FIFA World Cup 2026 final defeat to Spain. Lionel Scaloni’s men will be looking to continue their positive run of form. This is going to be their first fixture in the post-Messi era.
Being at home is going to give them an additional advantage to put up a strong fight against the visitors.
The Uruguay national football team secured a 4-1 win against South Korea and a 6-1 victory against India in their last two international friendly outings. After their underwhelming performances on the world stage, the two-time world champions are looking to build up a strong squad. La Celeste are now going to face a tough contest in their next fixture.
The Diego Forlán-led team will be looking to control the game from the very beginning. But being the visiting side will make things much tougher for them.
