Two star-studded countries in Argentina and Brazil face off in 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying action on Tuesday.
Argentina and Brazil face off for the 115th time with the latter leading in all-time head-to-head record. A win would extend Argentina's lead over Brazil in their Conmebol qualifying group to 10 points, but bragging rights are also on the line. Argentina, despite their icon Lionel Messi getting older, is on the ascendancy in international football. Winners of the last two Copa America tournaments and the defending World Cup champions, this team is the team to beat for many come 2026.
For Brazil, it's about returning to the summit. They have the talent, especially in attack featuring Real Madrid and Barcelona superstars.
But, who makes it into a combined lineup for the two sides? Here's our combined XI for Argentina vs. Brazil.
