Argentina Host Brazil At The Estadio Monumental
The 2022 FIFA World Cup Winners, Argentina, will be hosting their arch-rivals, Brazil, at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires tonight. The mouth-watering contest for football fans worldwide, and particularly the ones from South America, will be an intriguing World Cup Qualifier clash.

Both Teams Coming Off Inspired Wins
Coming into the contest, both teams recorded exciting wins. Argentina got a crucial victory against Uruguay away in Montevideo by a solitary goal from a sensational Thiago Almada strike. While Brazil scored an important win over Colombia 2-1 after a stoppage-time goal from Vinicius Jr.
Argentina & Brazil Great Depths In Squad
Without the services of an injured Lionel Messi, Argentina still would be difficult to beat at home, while a full-strength Brazil with in-form Raphina and Vinicius Jr would not be easy to handle for the Argentine defense. Brazil and Argentina have tremendous depth in their squads and the contest might throw up some exhilarating South American Football.
Argentina Have An Edge
Argentina, however, have a better record against Brazil in recent times. In their last 4 encounters, the hosts have won 3, while one fixture has been drawn. There is no doubt that Argentina have held the upper hand against their Latin rivals of late.
Brazil Are On A 5-match winning Streak
Brazil, on the other hand, have built a 5-game winning streak in the World Cup qualifiers and would be looking to further build on their campaign. Brazil have a 100% record of qualifying in World Cup Finals and whatever may be the outcome of the match, the Selecao are on course for another World Cup participation.
For me, it may end up 1-1 in Buenos Aires.
