World Cup
Brazil – Argentina. Prediction and announcement for the 2026 World Cup qualifying match
On November 22, the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro will host the 6th qualifying round match of the 2026 World Cup in the South American region, where the Brazilian national team will face the Argentina national team. The match will start at 02.30 Kyiv time.
Brazil
The Brazilian team has actually been unable to please its fans for a long time. Especially at the world championships, where pentacampeons have only advanced past the cursed quarter-final round once in the last two decades. His mentor Tite, who was pardoned for both his signing failure in 2018 and his home defeat in the Copa America 2021 final, managed to hold on to his post for a long time.
However, the trip to Qatar brought unsuccessful results as usual. And while we expect Ancelotti to take over this autumn, Fernando Diniz will take over as head coach. He got off to a strong start in September with several victories over Bolivia and Peru. However, there was a failure in October; A home draw against weak Venezuela and the first defeat in Uruguay in many years. The pause did not help: they also lost 1:2 to Colombia; They scored quickly but were conceded in the 75th and 79th minutes.
Argentina
The Argentina national team can now be considered number 1. Moreover, both on his continent – the winner of the Copa America, and in the world as a whole – Messi won the still coveted World Cup in December, which brought him another Golden Ball. But there were other heroes: from Emiliano Martinez, who saved the team many times, including in the penalty shoot-out, to his mentor Lionel Scaloni, under whose management everything changed.
And now Albi-Celestes is also on the move; They started with a string of victories, started with dry wins and went to the top of the electoral table. But the real challenge came in November, when they hosted fellow countrymen Uruguay, led by Marcelo Bielsa. The guest team was stunned by scoring a goal at the end of each half and won the match 2-0.
Statistics of personal meetings
In 2018-19, Brazil won twice but Argentina responded in kind, including in the Copa America final at the Seleção home. There was a goalless draw in the last qualifying round and the second leg was never played.
To guess
Bettors give the home team a purely nominal advantage. But here both need to rehabilitate themselves – we bet on over 2.0 goals in total (odds – 1.94).

INFANTINO: “If there was no FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world”
FIFA President Gianni Infantino He commented on World Cup ticket prices, saying they reflected “absolutely insane” demand for next summer’s tournament:
“We have six to seven million tickets and in 15 days we received 150 million ticket requests. So every day we have 10 million requests. This shows how strong the World Cup is.”
FIFA has sold just 44 million tickets in almost 100 years of the World Cup. So we were able to sell tickets for the 300th anniversary of the World Cup in two weeks. Just imagine. “This is absolutely crazy.”
Infantino also noted that funds from ticket sales would be reinvested into world football, but did not specify a specific amount:
“The important thing is that the revenue from this goes back into football around the world. If it weren’t for FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world. Football exists thanks to the revenues we get from the World Cup, and we reinvest that into football around the world.”
Previously, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called on FIFA to further reduce 2026 World Cup ticket prices.

Former Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos He talked about his interaction with Brazilian striker Vinicius Junior and other representatives of Brazil within the scope of the “royal club”.
“The Brazilians aroused my sympathy even as a child. While playing for Real Madrid, I developed excellent relationships with Vinicius, Casemiro and Militao.
It is very easy to find a common language with these guys: they know how to enjoy life, and their mentality is significantly different from that of the Germans.
Casemiro and Vinicius and I understood each other perfectly on the field and developed a unique football bond with Vini.
We communicated warmly in daily life. I believe that if there is no contact between players off the field, it is extremely difficult to achieve harmony in the game.
I used Vini’s high-speed bursts effectively and he masterfully directed my passes,” AS Kroos reports.
Let’s remember that Kroos defended the jersey of Real Madrid from 2014 to 2024. During this decade the German midfielder won the Champions League five times.
