The Argentina national team match against the Uruguay in 5e ronde of the CONMEBOL 2026 World Cup Qualification on Thursday, November 16, 2023 will be held at the Estadio Alberto José Armando Stadium, Ciudad de Buenos Aires.
The meeting between Argentina and Uruguay is one of the classic matches on the South American continent, with a long and fierce history of meetings between two teams that have twice been world champions. Today, the two teams clashed again at the Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti in the continuation of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the Conmebol zone.
Argentina is currently in its best form, as the defending champion of the 2022 World Cup and is unbeaten in the last 25 international matches. Lionel Scaloni’s team also leads the South American region’s 2026 World Cup qualifying standings with 12 points from four matches, a difference of six points from Uruguay who is in second place.
The Tango team has a terrible attacking line, with Lionel Messi, Angel Di Maria, Paulo Dybala and Lautaro Martinez as the main choices. Messi and Martinez are the team’s top two scorers with three goals each, while Di Maria and Dybala have also contributed one goal. Argentina also has a strong defensive line, with eight clean sheets in the last eight matches.
Uruguay, on the other hand, is trying to recover after two consecutive defeats to Ecuador and Brazil last October. Marcelo Bielsa’s team still has a chance to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, but will have to face a tough challenge from Argentina who have a good record against them.
The Celeste team has stars such as Luis Suarez, Darwin Nunez, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Jose Gimenez, but they have not shown consistent performance in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Suarez is a legendary striker who returned to the Uruguayan national team after being absent since the 2022 World Cup, but he had to compete with Nunez who was on fire with three goals. Bentancur and Gimenez are two key players in midfield and at the back, but they will have to work hard to match Argentina’s pace and creativity.
This match will also be the first meeting between two coaches who have different styles, namely Lionel Scaloni and Marcelo Bielsa. Scaloni is a young coach who just started his career with the Argentine national team in 2018, while Bielsa is an experienced coach who has coached Argentina, Chile, Athletic Bilbao, Marseille, Lille and Leeds United. Both are known as bold and creative coaches, with exciting and attacking football philosophies.
This match will also be a proving ground for two new players called up by both teams, namely Pablo Maffeo and Francisco Ortega from Argentina, and Luis Suarez from Uruguay. Maffeo and Ortega are two young wing-backs who play in La Liga, while Suarez is a legendary striker who returns to the Uruguayan national team after being absent since the 2022 World Cup.
Argentina vs Uruguay is one of the most anticipated matches by football fans around the world, because both teams have extraordinary quality and history. Argentina has the advantage in terms of performance, record and player material, but Uruguay should not be underestimated because they have high spirit and experience.
This match is likely to be played at a high tempo and high intensity, with many opportunities and goals created. Argentina will try to control the game and create pressure, while Uruguay will try to capitalize on mistakes and counter attacks. With all factors taken into account, Argentina is expected to win by a narrow score over Uruguay.
