Brazil vs Argentina: Match Preview

Brazil will be looking to register their first win since beating Peru in the final of Copa America 2019. In their last four outings, Tite’s side have drawn three and lost one.

The Selacao have not been in a great form since the continental event and another victory against the arch-rivals will be enough for them to end the year on a high.

Argentina, on the other hand, will be eyeing nothing short of revenge. After losing the controversial Copa semi-final against Brazil, Lionel Scaloni’s side have found themselves in the middle of a five-match unbeaten run.

In the last match, the Albicelestes thrashed Ecuador 6-1 and will be heading into today’s match as the favourites. Only a win today can compensate for what has otherwise been an underwhelming year.
