Brazil, on the other hand, are third with 21 points (6 W, 3 D, 4 L).<\/p>\n<h2>Argentina vs Brazil Preview: Build-Up<\/h2>\n<h3>Argentina<\/h3>\n<p>The highest-ranked international team on the planet, Argentina have been cruising in the 2026 CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers. Even Lionel Messi&#8217;s sketchy fitness record has not had much of an impact on La Albiceleste. The young guns have stepped up when needed, firing their nation to crucial wins.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A beauty from Thiago Almada \u2604\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>(via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/telefe?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@telefe<\/a>)<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OT0lRc0VXv\">pic.twitter.com\/OT0lRc0VXv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; B\/R Football (@brfootball) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/brfootball\/status\/1903254418067222671?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 22, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Argentina locked horns with Uruguay in their previous 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier. Away at Estadio Centenario, Argentina had a tough time putting pressure on Uruguay, with most of their attempts failing to trouble the goalkeeper. The visitors&#8217; perseverance, however, ultimately paid off, as 23-year-old Thiago Almada hit the back of the net with a sensational outside-the-box effort in the 68th minute. Nicolas Gonzalez saw a straight red card for a high boot in the fifth minute of added time, but the hosts did not have enough time to respond. The game finished 1-0 in Uruguay, bolstering Argentina&#8217;s advantage at the top.<\/p>\n<h3>Brazil<\/h3>\n<p>Brazil, meanwhile, have not been at their best in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Dorival Junior is still working out the kinks, as the team does not look nearly as cohesive as they should. As a result, the five-time world champions have slipped to four defeats and played out three draws in 13 games.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The King Vinicius Jr \ud83d\udc51\u261d\ud83c\udffb <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/x1yqEcyVAA\">pic.twitter.com\/x1yqEcyVAA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; \ud835\ude75 (@avvcr7) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/avvcr7\/status\/1902918051399434652?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 21, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Brazil looked on course for another disappointing result in their previous 2026 World Cup qualifier against Colombia. Raphinha fired his team into the lead but Luis Diaz restored parity before halftime. The Selecao piled men forward in search of the winner, but it did not come until the ninth minute of injury time, with a deflection-aided strike from Vinicius Junior hitting the back of the net. The victory propelled Dorival&#8217;s side to second place in the rankings.<\/p>\n<h2>Argentina vs Brazil Preview: Team News, Lineups, and H2H<\/h2>\n<h3>Argentina Team News and Lineup<\/h3>\n<p>Captain and the team&#8217;s all-time top scorer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/why-lionel-messi-not-in-argentina-squad-2026-world-cup-qualifiers\/\">Lionel Messi will not feature<\/a>, as he is still recovering from his adductor injury.

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson was another player not to join the squad for the qualis. Additionally, Brazil suffered two blows in the 2-1 win over Colombia, as Alisson and Gerson were forced off with discomfort.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Potential lineup<\/strong>: Bento; Vanderson, Marquinhos, Ortiz, Arana; Rodrygo, Joelinton, Andre, Raphinha; Vinicius, Pedro<\/p>\n<h3>Argentina vs Brazil: H2H<\/h3>\n<p>There have been 109 Superclasicos over the years.
