What is the current form of Brazil compared to Argentina?

Brazil crashed out of the World Cup courtesy of a 2-1 loss to Belgium in the quarter-final, but that was the only defeat they suffered in the competition (W3, D1). Since Russia 2018, the Selecao has played friendlies against USA, El Salvador, and Saudi Arabia, winning all three and scoring a total of nine goals along the way.

While Argentina's form at Russia 2018 was far worse - they won twice, lost twice, and drew once en route to a round of 16 exit - their form since the summer tournament hasn't been bad. They have won two of their last three friendlies, albeit they came against Guatemala and Iraq while drawing 0-0 with Colombia.

Brazil vs Argentina pre-match talk

Can Scaloni prove he can do it against the big boys?

Beating Iraq and Guatemala 4-0 and 3-0 respectively is nice, but their clash with Brazil is where their real test lies. Argentina doesn't only want to be the nation that thrashes minnows but also one that can trade blows with the giants. The Albiceleste of past could go toe to toe with the five-time World Cup champion but the current batch is struggling and is lead by an inexperienced manager. Can he silence his critics on Tuesday?

Messi-less but competent?

While Leo has come under heavy criticism every time Argentina fail, he has undoubtedly been at the heart of their memorable moments in recent years. He has currently taken a sabbatical from the national side, meaning the South Americans will have to rely on Dybala and Icardi to bring down Brazil.

The hurting Selecao seeking revenge

Brazil might be performing well at the moment, but their failure to win the 2018 World Cup still haunts them. They put the likes of the USA and El Salvador to the sword and will be hoping to add Argentina to the list. Beating them will also be revenge, as they lost 1-0 the last time they locked horns.
