As two giants in South America, Brazil and Argentina have always been bitter rivals. However, in this preliminaries, the situation of the two teams is quite different. Brazil is currently only ranked sixth, and Argentina ranks first, ahead of Uruguay, which is closely followed. For Argentina, this game is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity. They hope to beat their old enemy Brazil and consolidate their dominant position in the standings.
On the other hand, Brazil, although their performance in this world preliminaries is not ideal, does not mean that they have no chance to make a comeback. Brazil is under great pressure in this home game, and they need to prove their strength with a victory. In addition, Brazil has many world-class stars, such as Neymar and Di Maria, whose performance will directly affect the result of the game.
