Argentina will once again be without their captain, Lionel Messi, when they take on Brazil at Mâs Monumental Stadium.
Fresh off securing a hard-fought 0–1 victory over Uruguay, Argentina now must face a star-studded Brazil team to close out the March international break. Brazil and Argentina have clashed 114 times over the years and are now gearing up to play the 115th edition of the heated rivalry.
La Albiceleste can punch their tickets to the 2026 FIFA World Cup as long as they do not lose to the Seleção. Recent history is on Argentina’s side for the match; La Albiceleste has not suffered a defeat against Brazil since 2019.
Still, Lionel Scaloni’s men will have a tall task in front of them, especially without Messi available to help the 2022 FIFA World Cup winners secure a positive result against Brazil.
