hen Brazil hosts Argentina in Sunday's World Cup qualifier, it may not be fair to call it a rematch of the Copa America final from less than two months ago.
Brazil is missing nine England-based players who did not travel because of Britain's coronavirus restrictions. Meanwhile, Argentina star Lionel Messi is a slight doubt after being subjected to a harsh tackle by Venezuela's Adrian Martinez on Thursday, which led to a red card.

Prediction
A tense battle with plenty of defensive chances ends in a draw as the inspired Copa America champions hold on to a point on the road. Pick: Brazil 1, Argentina 1
Argentina: Coming off of the 3-1 win over Venezuela on Thursday, Argentina are simply looking to keep things going. The defense is playing well, the attack is constantly creating and Lionel Scaloni seems to have found the base of his team, including going to Lautaro Martinez and Di Maria in attack. Against Brazil, they can expect a similar game as the Copa America final in the sense that the hosts should have more of the ball and most of the chances, so Argentina will need to play the counter and be efficient. Emiliano Martinez came up big in the final and will need to do so here if they hope to get something from this match.
Brazil: What is it going to take for this attack to get going? Look, it is rare that they don't score, but they aren't scoring much. They've failed to score multiple goals in five straight matches. But before that, they scored at least two in nine of their previous 10. They've produced double digit shots in four straight games and just need a bit more sharpness and good fortune. If that comes in this one, then they'll feel confident in getting revenge.
