Brazil will host Argentina in a highly anticipated 2026 World Cup qualifier tonight.
The hosts come into this fixture on the back of a disappointing 2-1 defeat away from home against Colombia, despite going ahead in the fourth minute via a Gabriel Martinelli goal.
Argentina were on the receiving end of a 2-0 defeat against Uruguay in their most recent game, after conceding on the brink of half time and in the 87th minute of match.
Brazil vs Argentina
Wednesday 22 November, 1:30am
Maracana Stadium
Brazil are currently on a terrible run of form, as they have not won in any of their three most recent fixtures, against Venezuela, Uruguay and Colombia, all games which they would have expected to win.
The poor form from Brazil means that they currently sit fifth in the 2026 World Cup qualifying group, so they are not on track to qualify for the tournament as only the top four nations will qualify.
They have struggled in front of goal in recent times as they have scored just three times in their last four games, a real fall from grace considering the amount of goals that they have had in the side over the years.
Despite losing on their last time out, Argentina have been in good form in recent times as they find themselves at the top of the group in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Argentina have been remarkable at the back over the past year, they have conceded just two goals in their last 10 games and both in these goals came in the most recent fixture against Uruguay.
