San Juan: Argentina will look forward to securing a place in the 2022 FIFA World Cup to be held in Qatar as they take on arch-rivals Brazil in a Super Clasico on Wednesday. However, Brazil has already found its place in the major tournament with a win against Colombia last week.
Argentina will meet Brazil for the second time since Copa America 2021 finals after La Albiceleste handed Brazil a loss banking on Angel Di Maria’s goal. Their previous meet was canceled with the sudden arrival of medical officers upon COVID regulations being disregarded by Argentine players in Brazil.
Argentina, being unbeaten for the last 26 games will look to hold on to the record. Lionel Scaloni will be seen fielding his best soldiers for the Super Clasico. After coming up towards the end of the Venezuela clash, Lionel Messi will be deemed to be ready for the start and might serve as bad news for Paulo Dybala who might be dropped off. In the absence of Sergio Aguero, Messi will be joined by Angel Di Maria and Lautaro Martinez. The midfield will be formed by Rodrigo De Paul, Rodriguez, and Lo Celso. While Molina, Christian Romero, Nicolas Otadmendi, and Acuña help custodian Emiliano Martinez in protecting the goal.
Tite will be suffering a major loss with the absence of Neymar Jr and Casemiro with the latter being handed bookings. Vinicius Jr. might come up against in place of Neymar. However, Brazil has nothing to lose from the game except their unbeaten run in the CONMEBOL 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers
