Argentina will play again this Tuesday on the stage where its winning saga of the last two years began with winning the Copa América in 2021, when it visits Brazil, which is not going through a good moment, at the Maracaná stadium, in a classic valid for the sixth date of the South American Qualifiers.
The great South American classic, which those led by Lionel Scaloni will assume as leaders and those led by Fernando Diniz in fifth place, will be played starting at 9:30 p.m., will be refereed by the Chilean Piero Maza and televised by TyC Sports and Public TV.
The Argentine national team will try to repeat a victory over Brazil at the Maracaná like the one achieved on July 10, 2021 (1-0, with a goal from Ángel Di María, in the Copa América final) and is also faced with the great opportunity to dispossess to the homeowners of one of the few important brands they have left in the Qualifiers: their undefeated record at home.

Therefore, not only will the second consecutive victory in the “largest stadium in the world” be historic, but precisely what will come with it, and especially with Argentina showing off its status as current world champion.
For those led by Lionel Messi, this occasion looks unbeatable, it is a “here and now”, since their last rival in 2023 comes into this match very beaten, with three games without a win and the last two defeats in a row against Uruguay and Colombia. Previously they had tied with Venezuela at home.
Regarding history, Argentina won only four times at the Maracaná in 13 games against the Brazilians, accumulating seven defeats and two draws.
And thinking about all this, Scaloni plans a couple of tweaks, which depending on the names would also vary the natural 4-3-3 game scheme to a 4-4-2.

It is that beyond the eternal doubt of Lautaro Martínez or Julián Álvarez for the center of the attack, it will obviously not be the same that Di María replaces Nicolás González, which would be a change position by position, than Leandro Paredes doing it for the Fiorentina attacker, from Italy.
Argentina will try to keep the three points and thus leave behind the fall against Uruguay, which was the first in 14 games after winning the World Cup in Qatar, that conquest that could do everything, and can do everything.
