4th September 2021

Previews

Brazil face Argentina on Sunday night where the home side will be looking to extract some revenge over Argentina for their Copa America final defeat in August. That match was, of course, played on home soil, in Rio de Janeiro, this one will also be played in Brazil, in Sao Paulo. Unlike the Copa America final though only 1500 ‘invited’ fans will be at the 48,000 seater stadium. Will Brazil get some revenge and more importantly, is there any value in the market.

Brazil vs Argentina Betting Tips and Predictions

This will be the seventh meeting between the sides since 2016. Brazil have won three, Argentina have also won three. Amazingly, Both Teams to Score: Yes wasn’t seen in any of those matches. Each win was a Win to Nil. Only one of the previous meetings saw Over 2.5 goals occurring.

Of their 10 most previous fixtures, Brazil have won eight, lost one and drawn one. On home soil they share the same statistics. There hasn’t exactly been tons of goals in home Brazilian matches though, of those 10 games, only four saw Over 2.5 goals landing and only two witnessed Both Teams to Score occurring.

Brazil vs Argentina Betting Tips and Predictions

Argentina are unbeaten over their 10 most previous fixtures, winning six and drawing four (winning one on penalties). On their travels they’ve won seven of their last 10 games, drawing the other three. Six of those games saw Over 2.5 goals occurring, six also saw Both Teams to Score landing.

Of course, the rivalry between the sides barely needs stating, there’s little love between these old rivals and if one of the teams had the choice between beating the other and losing all their other matches for the year, they’d most assuredly pick beating their rivals. It’s a shame that more fans won’t be at the stadium to create an atmosphere. As usual with the Brazilian FA they weren’t prepared and left everything until the last minute rather than trying to get ahead of things. Regardless, both sides have been playing in front of empty stadiums for quite a while now and other than Brazil losing the home crowd factor it won’t make much difference to how the game progresses.

Brazil vs Argentina Betting Tips and Predictions Both Teams to Score is available over 2.0 at the time of writing, the reason being, as mentioned above, the amount of games between the sides where BTTS: No has landed but we have to make a case for it here, particularly since Argentina have scored in all eight of their most recent away games. Brazil’s defence is study, no doubt about that but the firepower in Argentina’s ranks should see them getting their name on the scoresheet once here at least.
