Argentina vs Brazil Predictions

• Argentina have kept five successive clean sheets.
• Brazil have conceded just three goals away from home in qualifying.
• Under 2.5 goals has landed in nine of Brazil’s 13 qualifiers.

Argentina hoping to join their guests

Brazil’s narrow 1-0 win over Colombia on Friday sealed their place in the 2022 Qatar World Cup and Argentina will take a huge step towards claiming their spot with a result here. The Albiceleste are currently 2nd in the CONMEBOL qualifying group, eight points ahead of Ecuador in third, so should make it regardless of the result in this game.

Argentina will be out to extend their 26-game unbeaten run since a 2-0 loss to Brazil in July 2019 and they haven’t lost at home to their fierce rivals since 2009.

Icon, Lionel Messi came off the bench to play 15 minutes in their 1-0 victory over Uruguay as Argentina kept their fifth consecutive clean sheet. They have conceded just two goals at home in six qualifiers and should keep things tight in this one.

Revenge act for Brazil

These nations clashed earlier in the year as Argentina pipped Brazil to Copa America glory with a 1-0 win and we’re expecting another close encounter here.

The pressure is off Brazil with their fate already sealed but they will still want to get one over on their arch-nemesis. The Selecao have won five of their six games since that final defeat keeping four clean sheets in that time.

Brazil have conceded just three goals on their travels in qualifying and there will be little to split these sides here with two stubborn defences coming out on top.

A 1-1 draw seems like a good option in the correct score market with under 2.5 goals our main prediction given that these teams have shipped just 10 goals in 24 qualifying matches between them.
