Betting tips for Brazil vs Argentina - 09.06.2017

The minidigression from Brazil to Melbourne begins with a classic against the Argentine rival. Tite, who has a year as a picker, dismissed Neymar and others who needed a break and will give lesser-rounded players a chance. But on the other side Sampaoli makes his debut and Brazil will not want to risk a humiliation. The former coach of Seville comes determined to revitalize Albiceleste and we already know how he likes to bang.

Brazil have two friendly games scheduled for Melbourne. This Friday faces rival Argentina and next Tuesday faces the host team, Australia. For this kangaroo land minidigression, Tite dismissed some of the usual starters. The case that jumps in the eye is Neymar's. These were entitled to enjoy the well-deserved vacations and others, less wheeled, come with the possibility of showing service. Willian said today, in the preview of the encounter with Albiceleste, that Canarinha has arguments to defeat Messi and company, even without its biggest star.

Tite fulfills these days a year in the post of Brazilian selector and is in great mood. Things are going well. The coach picked up the team when the qualifying was shaken and today Brazil are leading the South American zone, nine points above Colombia, second place. You can watch the fratricidal fight that the other Latin American soccer powers will fight for the qualification.

Goalkeeper Ederson, who signed for Manchester City for an astronomical sum, only gets to the concentration on the eve of the first game, so it is likely that Diego Alves will be chosen for the goal on Friday. The guardian who represented Benfica had special authorization to accompany the birth of his daughter.



For Argentina the international match with Brazil is much more than a friendly one. It is the revival of Albiceleste under the leadership of Jorge Sampaoli. After months of courtship, the Argentine coach stopped resisting the harassment of the national team and gave himself to an old dream. Who would not want to train Argentina still with Leo Messi ready for the corners? In the official presentation the coach reinforced two ideas: it does not fit in his head that the Argentine team is not in Russia and that it is necessary to recover a style of game that reflects the Argentine's passion for the sport-king. Knowing Sampaoli, he will do everything to make this transformation evident from the first moment, especially when on the other side is the archrival Brazil.

The concentration of Albiceleste in Melbourne was happening in the dropper. Dybala and Higuain, the two involved in the Champions League final for Juve, arrived later. As well as the players who line up in the Argentinean championship.

Argentina are in fifth place in the South American qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup, with twenty-two points (eleven fewer than Brazil). It is the vacancy that gives the chance to play the play-off, it is not direct qualification, and even that is not safe. Ecuador is only two points behind. After making the most difficult, beating the heavyweights Colombia (3-0) and Chile (1-0), Albiceleste left all three points in the visit to Bolivia (2-0). Messi's absence from that match can not serve as a justification. There is a lot of talent besides the Argentine magician in this selection. The defeat dictated the departure of Edgardo Bauza.
