Argentina vs Brazil Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Lionel Scaloni’s men ended up as the better side the last time both teams met.

The Argentina national football team are set to host the Brazil national football team in match week 14 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup CONMEBOL qualifiers. Lionel Scaloni’s men are at the top of the table, having won nine of their 13 matches. Dorival Junior’s men jumped up to the third spot with a win in their previous encounter.

Argentina will be at home this time around. They defeated Brazil the last time they battled them. Even though it was an away fixture, Lionel Scaloni’s men secured a win in a close contest. The Argentina national football team also secured a win in their previous match where they came on top against Uruguay.

The Brazil national football team are not in the best of forms but are slowly gaining the momentum. They faced Colombia in their last World Cup qualifying fixture and came out on top after scoring a last-minute goal. Dorival Junior’s men are undefeated in the last few matches and will be looking to repeat a stellar performance here as well.

Players to Watch

Julian Alvarez (Argentina)

The Atletico Madrid forward is in good form but went goalless in his last game for the national team. Julian Alvarez is going to play a crucial role in the attacking front for the hosts. Lionel Scaloni’s men had a hard time on the attacking front. This time around Alvarez will look to step up and score a goal or two to help his side.

Vinicius Junior (Brazil)

Vinicius Junior scored the match-winning goal for Brazil in their last game against Colombia. It was a great performance by the Real Madrid forward who led his side to an important win. Alongside Raphinha and Rodrygo, Vini Jr. can threaten the opposition’s defence with ease. The hosts will be on edge against Brazil’s attack.
