The World Cup qualifications in South America continue with some interesting matches in round 5, as both Argentina and Brazil have tough opponents, so what should we expect from the most exciting matchups on November 17.
The football bookmakers have Brazil as the favorites on the road here, with their eyes on the anticipated match against Argentina on November 22. The Selecao are coming off a bad loss to Uruguay, so they will be looking to bounce back with a good performance here. In the last seven head-to-head games, Brazil won four, and three were draws, so the Selecao will have good winning chances here with enticing odds.
Argentina are the only team with a 100% result in the qualifications, as they have won all four of their games so far. As explained in our Argentina vs Uruguay match preview, the Albiceleste scored two or more goals in 12 of their last 14 matches, so they are in their best form, and they are capable of putting the ball in the net against any opponent.
Chile and Paraguay have been suffering in this tournament so far, as both of them are in the bottom half of the South American 2026 WC qualifying standings. Paraguay have scored only once in four matches, while Chile aren’t that much better, as they failed to score in two of their last three games. This could be a tight game with few goals, as both teams are in bad attacking form.
