Brazil vs Argentina
Fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground have a treat in store on Friday when the two best teams in world football come to town.
Australia welcomes Tite’s top-ranked Brazil and Jorge Sampaoli’s Argentina in the Battle of the South Americans, a series of pulsating football games which never disappoints.
Brazil already qualified for the World Cup in Russia after a spectacular run of form, whereas Jorge Sampaoli’s Argentina still have work to do. It’s little surprise that handicap betting odds slightly favour Argentina to win at 2.54, with Brazil at 2.81 and the draw at 3.00. With the firepower on show, there could be goals, and you can get 2.21 on Over 2.5.
Ten wins in the South American qualifying group has rocketed Brazil to the finals in some style, the last a 3-0 triumph over Paraguay. Philippe Coutinho and Neymar were both on target in the Paraguay game as they were when Brazil thumped Argentina back in November to stamp their authority on the group.
Argentina lost three of their last five games, including a shock defeat away to Bolivia in March. The loss leaves Jorge Sampaoli’s team in a precarious fifth position in the South American group. That was also the first of four games they face without the genius of Lionel Messi after he was banned for swearing at an official in a crunch match against Chile.
