This game may be a friendly but it would probably turn out to be the most unfriendly of the lot as two of South America’s biggest rivals lock horns at the King Abdullah Sports City Reserve Stadium.
Argentina endured a terrible World Cup that they were only fortunate to reach the knockout stages, however, they were eliminated by France at the round of 16, and several changes have occurred since that time.
Lionel Scaloni has been named their new manager and he has been on an experimentation drive since that time.
They have played Guatemala, Iraq, and Colombia since the World Cup and won all but the latter.
This game would be a major test for them as they look to impress at the Copa America 2019.
Brazil were eliminated by Belgium at the last World Cup, but Tite remains as their manager and seems to enjoy the support his reputation deserves.
The Brazilians have also not suffered any post-World Cup hangover as they have dispatched USA, El Salvador, and Saudi Arabia in their post World Cup friendlies.
They would be hosting the Copa America next year, and the least they can do is win the competition on home soil, so it would be interesting to see how they can perform here.
