class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>These two rivals meet in Buenos Aires in what should be another tight encounter between the continent's two best defensive units<\/p>\n
<\/head><\/p>\nArgentina host Brazil on Tuesday in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying.<\/p>\n
La Canarinha have already qualified for Qatar 2022 and Argentina are virtually assured of a place at the tournament, so the latest instalment of this fierce rivalry is more about pride than anything else.<\/p>\n
Brazil sit top of the qualifying table having dominated the competition but a victory for Lionel Scaloni’s men in Buenos Aires would put them within three points of their northern neighbours.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Argentina vs Brazil latest odds<\/p>\n
Since losing to Brazil in the Copa America in 2019, Argentina have gone 26 matches without defeat, the longest current unbeaten run of any international team.<\/p>\n
The hosts are offered at 29\/20 (2.45) with bet365 to claim a win while Brazil can be backed at 2\/1 (3.00) and the draw at 21\/10 (3.10).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Argentina vs Brazil first goalscorer<\/p>\n
Argentina’s last three matches have seen three different players open the scoring with Lionel Messi, Lautaro Martinez and Angel Di Maria all breaking the deadlock, respectively.<\/p>\n
Messi is the favourite to do so once more at 3\/1 (4.00) while Martinez can be backed at 6\/1 (7.00) and Di Maria at 17\/2 (8.50).<\/p>\n
For Brazil, Neymar has been ruled out of the game due to injury, while Gabriel Jesus is 5\/1 (6.00) to score first.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Argentina vs Brazil preview<\/p>\n
Both sides come into the game in extraordinary defensive form with Argentina having kept five consecutive clean sheets and Brazil letting in just four goals in 12 World Cup qualifiers.<\/p>\n
Backing a game with few goals should appeal once more and this fixture usually produces hard-fought and tight games.<\/p>\n
Four of the last five games have been settled by a solitary goal margin while both teams to score has not paid out in any of the last six meetings between these teams.<\/p>\n
With both sides looking extremely solid defensively there should be plenty of interest in opposing both teams to find the back of the net.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Argentina vs Brazil tips & predictions<\/p>\n
Both teams to score ‘no’ is priced at 3\/4 (1.75) and looks like an excellent option while combining this bet with under 2.5 goals sees the odds rise to 20\/21 (1.98).<\/p>\n
