Argentina - Brazil Prediction: Early 2026 World Cup ticket for La Albiceleste?

The Argentina national team gathered in March 2025 without the services of Messi, Dybala and Lautaro Martínez due to various injuries. However, coach Scaloni's army still showed impressive strength.

In the 13th match of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in South America, Argentina, despite having to play away against Uruguay, still won all 3 points thanks to Almada's goal. This result helped coach Scaloni and his team consolidate their top position in the table with 28 points.

Argentina is creating a huge gap compared to the remaining opponents in the South American region. After 13 matches, the reigning World Cup champion is 7 points ahead of Brazil and 8 points ahead of Uruguay.

According to the rules, the top six teams in the 2026 World Cup qualifying round in South America will qualify directly for the finals. With a 15-point gap over Bolivia, La Albiceleste only need to avoid defeat to Brazil in the 14th round to officially qualify for the World Cup before the final four rounds.

Even if they lose to Brazil, Argentina will still advance if Bolivia does not beat Uruguay in this match. Since the Bolivia-Uruguay match takes place 4 hours before the Argentina-Brazil match, coach Scaloni and his team can completely win a ticket to the World Cup before the 14th match.

Although the task of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup is becoming easier, that does not mean Argentina will settle for a draw when facing Brazil. In fact, La Albiceleste is more eager than ever to win against their arch-rivals.

Before the "Super Classic" match of South American football, Brazilian star Raphinha declared that he wanted to crush Argentina right on the opponent's field, further increasing the heat of this competition.

In the last 5 head-to-head matches, Argentina has a better record with 3 wins, 1 draw and only 1 loss. Notably, in the last 4 meetings, the reigning World Cup champion has maintained an unbeaten record.

With home advantage, a strong mentality and a better history of confrontation, Argentina has the basis to choose an advantageous approach to the match against Brazil. If coach Scaloni and his team play at their best, it will be difficult for them to accept defeat against their great rival.

The match between Argentina and Brazil in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in South America will take place at 7am on March 26. Voice of Vietnam Electronic Newspaper will report online, inviting interested readers to follow.
