The Argentina national team will assemble in March 2025 without Messi, Dybala, and Lautaro Martínez due to various injuries. However, coach Scaloni's squad will still demonstrate impressive strength.
In the 13th matchday of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the South American region, Argentina, despite playing away against Uruguay, still secured all three points thanks to a goal from Almada. This result helped coach Scaloni's team consolidate their position at the top of the group with 28 points.
Argentina is creating a huge gap between itself and its rivals in South America. After 13 matches, the reigning World Cup champions are 7 points ahead of Brazil and 8 points ahead of Uruguay.
Updated standings for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the South American region before matchday 14.
According to the regulations, the top six teams in the 2026 World Cup qualifying round in the South American region will qualify directly for the finals. With a 15-point lead over Bolivia, La Albiceleste only needs to avoid defeat against Brazil in the 14th matchday to officially secure their World Cup qualification with four matches remaining.
Even if they lose to Brazil, Argentina will still advance if Bolivia doesn't win against Uruguay in this match. Since the Bolivia-Uruguay match takes place four hours before the Argentina-Brazil match, Coach Scaloni's team could potentially secure their World Cup qualification before the 14th matchday.
Although the task of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup finals seems easier now, that doesn't mean Argentina will settle for a draw against Brazil. In fact, La Albiceleste are more eager than ever to win against their arch-rivals.

Ahead of the "El Clásico" of South American football, Brazilian star Raphinha declared his desire to crush Argentina on their home turf, further increasing the intensity of this clash.
In their last five encounters, Argentina has a better record with three wins, one draw, and only one loss. Notably, the reigning World Cup champions have remained undefeated in their last four meetings.
With home advantage, strong morale, and a better head-to-head record, Argentina has grounds to choose a favorable approach against Brazil. If coach Scaloni's team plays to their potential, it will be very difficult for them to suffer a defeat against their arch-rival.
The match between Argentina and Brazil in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers for the South American region will take place at 7:00 AM on March 26th. The Voice of Vietnam online newspaper will provide live coverage; interested readers are invited to follow along.
