It could be a night of celebration for Argentina tomorrow if they avoid defeat against the archrival Brazil in Buenos Aires.
Last week’s victory in Uruguay, courtesy of Thiago Almada’s wonderful goal, pushed Lionel Scaloni’s men to the edge of the qualification for the world cup finals of next summer while they seek to defend the crown they won in Qatar in 2022.

Almada took a step forward in a renewed progress line to Lionel Messi, Lautaro Martínez and Paulo Dybala to score the only goal in Montevideo.
Scaloni later said: “We had some very important absent, but we have great players to go to the field. The team is always more than just the names.”
Argentina can even qualify before the Brazilian game if Bolivia does not win Uruguay in an accessory that starts four hours before.
Anyway, the Albiceleste is in a very strong position, as well as Brazil for whom the victory over Colombia last week means that it is almost certain that they will advance.
The defender of Paris Saint-Germain, Marquinhos, said: “We knew how important this could be, after two draws, and our position at the table.
“The victory gave us a little peace of mind, but here in the national team we will never be satisfied simply because we win.”
The Lobos midfielder, Matheus Cunha, could start against Argentina and believes that the two parts are very closely combined.
“Honest, I don’t think they are at a higher level,” he said. “I think, for merit, they have many knowledge due to the titles they have. We have to respect that and recognize the good moment they live.
“But I face a week and a week Argentina, Enzo (Fernández) or (Alexis) Mac Allister and I think we have a level as high as theirs.
“I don’t think they have an advantage because there are 11 versus 11”.
The game does not need additional spices, but Raphinha has fueled the fires in an explosive interview with the former Romario striker in which “F ***” Argentina said and said they would hit them “inside and outside the field if we had it.”
