Brazil vs Argentina: Match preview, head-to-head and predicted line-ups

In the quarter-final Brazil beat Paraguay, but they had to wait until the penalty shootout to seal their fate.

Meanwhile, Argentina triumphed over Venezuela in a commendable fashion, drubbing them 2-0.

However, given their show in this tournament, Brazil enter as the favorites to win the tie.

Messi is yet to fire in this edition.

Both the teams have several stars in their ranks.

From Brazil, veteran defender Dani Alves has been the wall of Brazilian defense and is likely to make a difference again.

For Argentina, the onus would once again be on their superstar Lionel Messi.

However, apart from these two, Brazil's Gabriel Jesus and Argentina's Giovani Lo Celso could also be dangerous.

To date, a total of 109 matches have been played between the sides, with Brazil triumphing on 45 occasions and Argentina pocketing 39 matches.

The last match between the sides was played in October 2018, where Brazil triumphed 1-0.
