Argentina v Brazil World Cup Qualifying Betting Tips 26/03/2025

Argentina and Brazil meet in a heavyweight 2026 World Cup qualifier on Wednesday, so here’s our Argentina v Brazil World Cup Qualifying Betting Tips. The South American giants sit near the top of the CONMEBOL group and are separated by seven points. World Cup champions Argentina are top of the standings after going unbeaten in 11 of their 13 qualifiers. Brazil are third but have improved on a rocky start with a recent unbeaten run. These nations are stacked with quality, and a well-matched encounter is anticipated in Buenos Aires. This match kicks off at midnight, it will be shown live on Premier Sports.

Form & Team News

Argentina have a six-point lead at the top of the CONMEBOL World Cup qualification group. Lionel Scaloni’s team are undefeated in five of their last seven qualifiers, winning four. The 2022 World Cup winners last suffered a defeat at Paraguay (2-1) before hitting back with consecutive 1–0 wins over Peru and Uruguay. Brazil made a patchy start to their qualifying campaign and won just three of their opening eight games. The Selecao have since recovered and are unbeaten in their last five, winning three. Dorival Júnior’s outfit drew 1-1 against Venezuela and Uruguay in their November internationals before defeating Colombia 2-1 at home last time out. 

Lionel Messi was left out of Argentina’s squad due to injury. Lautaro Martinez and Paulo Dybala are also injured, and Nico Gonzalez is suspended. Alisson Becker and Gerson have withdrawn from Brazil’s squad after sustaining injuries during the Colombia match. 

Match Winner Bet

With both nations in fairly strong form, the bookmakers have this clash a potentially close one. Despite their recent improvements, Brazil is still considered the underdog. They have only won once in their previous four away games in all competitions, and have lost three of their last five qualifiers on the road. BetMGM’s 11/4 odds represent the Selecao’s outsider status for this clash in Argentina. Alternatively, it might be worth looking at a draw, as Brazil has seen two stalemates in their last three games. Argentina have also dropped points in three of their last six qualifiers, so Brazil might fancy their chances of earning a point on Wednesday. There’s decent value on a stalemate too, with BetMGM offering 9/4. Ultimately, we expect Argentina to have too much quality for an out-of-form Brazil side. In addition, La Albiceleste is strong at home, winning seven consecutive games in Argentina and conceding just twice during this run. At 24/19, VBet has decent potential returns for an eighth consecutive Argentina home triumph. 

Over/Under Goals Betting

Argentina and Brazil haven’t seen many high-scoring results recently. Scaloni’s side have won 1-0 in their last two internationals and often keep things tight, shipping just once in their last four games. Brazil has also seen many low-scoring games during the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign, particularly on the road. In four of their last six away qualifiers, the Selecao have seen under 2.5 goals. We can see this Argentina vs Brazil game being a close-fought clash without too many openings. As a result, Matchbook’s 8/15 price for under 2.5 goals in Buenos Aires is a solid pick. 

Anytime Goalscorer Bets

There’s no shortage of attacking options for Argentina and Brazil. One of the Selecao’s most in-form players is Vinicius Junior, who scored and assisted during the 2-1 victory over Colombia on Friday. The Brazilian has been in consistent scoring form for Real Madrid this season, with 17 goals in all competitions. Vinicius looks confident and has good odds for scoring at any time in Argentina with Boylesports offering 4/1. Julian Alvarez is perhaps a safer pick with lower odds in the goalscorer market here. Alvarez’s two 2026 World Cup qualifier goals have come in his last three home appearances. The Atletico striker is also in superb form at club level this season and struck six goals in seven before linking up with Argentina. At 13/5, Bet365 has solid returns for sticking with Alvarez to keep scoring.
