South American rivals Brazil and Argentina will lock horns in a 2026 World Cup qualifier on Tuesday evening, with both teams looking to bounce back from surprise defeats last time out.
Brazil, who are fifth in their qualification section, will enter the contest off the back of a 2-1 defeat to Colombia, while table-topping Argentina lost 2-0 at home to Uruguay.
Fernando Diniz's side opened their 2026 World Cup qualification campaign with back-to-back wins over Bolivia and Peru, but they were then held to a 1-1 draw by Venezuela in their first match in October.
Uruguay recorded a 2-0 win over Brazil on October 17, before Colombia beat the five-time World Cup winners 2-1 last time out, with Luis Diaz scoring a late brace for Colombia after Gabriel Martinelli had made the breakthrough in the fourth minute of the contest.
This is Brazil's final match of the year, and it is the perfect chance for them to raise the confidence of their adoring supporters, but another poor result could potentially see them slip out of the top six, which would be remarkable, even at this early stage of the process.
