Emiliano Martinez was very mad at the Brazilian police, as the goalkeeper tried to stop them from hitting a fan in the stands.



Matchday 6 of the Conmebol <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup-qualifiers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup</a> has one of the most interesting games so far between Argentina and Brazil. It is one of the toughest rivalries in South America, and the tension was also in the stands.



Before the game, a large-scale brawl erupted in the stands of Maracana Stadium between fans of both teams. Brazilian police intervened, attempting to separate the Argentine fans from the home supporters, but some fans from both sides also clashed with law enforcement.



<h2>Watch: Dibu Martinez tries to stop a Brazilian policeman from hitting Argentina fans</h2>



It is well-known that Brazil and Argentina are fierce rivals in soccer. Both are considered the biggest national teams in South America, and they consistently strive to prove their superiority over the other.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id=""></div>


During Matchday 6 of the Qualifiers for the upcoming World Cup, Brazil hosted Argentina. The Albiceleste arrived as favorites due to their impressive start, while the Canarinha aimed to capitalize on home advantage and secure a victory against their long-standing rivals.



The home advantage became pivotal in this game. Prior to kickoff, a huge altercation erupted between fans of both teams in the stands, leading to Brazilian police intervention and escalating tension within Maracana Stadium.



The Argentina players opted not to begin the game due to the ongoing brawl. As they headed towards the locker room, a moment was captured on camera showing Emiliano Martinez, the Albiceleste goalkeeper, trying to prevent a Brazilian policeman from striking a fan. Martinez’s teammates swiftly intervened, removing him from the conflict to prevent a potential escalation.



The scheduled kickoff was delayed due to the ongoing brawl. Ten minutes later, the 2022 FIFA World Cup champions returned to the field to resume the match against Brazil. However, it was evident that they were not at ease or comfortable with the situation.

The game between <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brazil">Brazil</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina">Argentina</a> is once again giving a lot to talk about for the wrong reasons. Before their <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup-qualifiers">World Cup Qualifier</a> even started, a riot broke out in the stands.



Argentine fans were apparently fighting with Brazilian supporters in the stands and the Brazilian police started to hit La Albiceleste fans with batons. The Argentine team immediately went to intervene, but the chaos wouldn’t stop.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Los primeros que fueron a socorrer a los nuestros.

An angry Lionel Messi was seen protesting for the treatment the away fans were getting at the Maracana stadium. As the problems went on, Messi led his team back to the tunnel, telling the referee they wouldn’t start the match.



The Argentine national team waited for the situation to calm down. The Brazilian squad stayed on the field, waiting for any further information by the authorities. Needless to say, this shameful situation has overshadowed what should have been an interesting sporting derby on the field.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



With things looking better in the stands, Messi and company returned to the field to play the game. But of course, the game was marred by the brutal scenes on the stands.



<h2>Another chaotic derby</h2>



While this is without any doubt the most shameful situation in a long time, it’s not the first time a Brazil-Argentina game is surrounded by a mess. In fact, La Albiceleste’s last trip to Brazilian soil in 2021 was called off in the first half.



Only five minutes into the game, health authorities stormed into the field claiming that four Argentine players broke the Covid-19 protocol by entering the country. La Albiceleste went back to the locker room, and the match never resumed.



<h2>A must-win game for both</h2>



Though it’s hard to focus on the game or the tournament when so many horrible things took place in the same venue, the game started anyway so now we may finally move on to the implications of this game.



While the atmosphere is extremely heated, both sides already saw this match as a must-win before the violent episode. Brazil come from a shocking loss to Colombia, whereas Argentina were upset by Uruguay.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231120#BUS#86821"></div>


Fernando Diniz’s men have failed to pick up a win in their last three games, a negative streak that sees them fifth in the standings. Lionel Scaloni’s side, on the other hand, arrived on Matchday 6 atop the table with 12 points.



While Brazil need to win this match to end a string of bad results, Argentina would use the three points to continue as leaders and keep Uruguay at bay. But of course, now both teams want to beat their opponent even more after what happened before the kick-off.

Chaos before Brazil-Argentina World Cup Qualifier with violence in the stands - Bolavip US

On Thursday of last week <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marcelo-bielsa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Marcelo Bielsa</a>’s Uruguay put on a masterclass performance against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Argentina</a> and took home a 2-0 win at the famed La Bombonera. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/uruguay" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Uruguay</a> commanded the midfield and reduced Argentina to a static side as the Bielsa press proved very effective. 



During the match one incident took on a life of its own on social media and that was a gesture of PSG’s Manuel Ugarte made to Rodrigo De Paul. In a scuffle between the two sides Ugarte made a gesture using his hand implying in South America that De Paul is a suck up. 



The gesture has gone viral, and Manuel Ugarte was on Uruguayan sports radio 100% Deporte and spoke about an incident he now regrets. 



<h2>Manuel Ugarte apologizes for insulting Rodrigo De Paul </h2>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20221028#CMS#57"></div>


Manuel Ugarte stated on 100% Deporte, “When I saw the gesture I said: I’m an animal! The game was tremendous, and I didn’t even realize the gesture I made, in fact I continued playing without thinking about it. When they told me that it had gone viral, I asked: What gesture? He wanted me killed, I already apologized.” 



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">One of the craziest moments of the match was seeing Manuel Ugarte call Rodrigo De Paul a “mamadera” (bottle feeder) of Messi (while doing a blow job gesture) “Mamadera” in Argentina/Uruguay is an insult, implying he’s a suck up<a href="https://t.co/S5W7oeMGUL">pic.twitter.com/S5W7oeMGUL</a>— Uruguay Football ENG (@UruguayFootENG) <a href="https://twitter.com/UruguayFootENG/status/1725347389215531083?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 17, 2023</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



The gesture was implied that Rodrigo De Paul has become sort of a Messi “flunky”, Messi after the match had questioned the maturity of Uruguay’s new younger crop of players. 



<h2>Uruguay in World Cup qualifying </h2>



La Celeste takes on Bolivia in Montevideo on Tuesday and with a win and a few results going their way could leave Marcelo Bielsa’s side in first place. 


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231120#BUS#86801"></div>


Bielsa has led a sort of revolution as the mostly conservative but talented Uruguayan side is now playing a much quicker and fluid passing and attacking game that is custom with Marcelo Bielsa.

While the derby is already attractive by itself, this specific game looks interesting as both sides will be looking to bounce back. Last time out, both the Verde-amarela and La Albiceleste lost.



Fernando Diniz‘s men have failed to pick up a victory in their last three games, having suffered back-to-back defeats in their last two matches. Lionel Scaloni‘s team, on the other hand, has recently suffered its first loss in 2023 at the hands of Uruguay.

Brazil and Argentina clash in World Cup Qualifiers

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a> finally was able to win his long-awaited FIFA <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">World Cup</a> in Qatar in December of last year. Nearly one year removed from his magical cup run with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Argentina</a>, the kits used by the best player of all time will be sold in an auction in New York. 



Sotheby’s, the auction house, confirmed that the value of the World Cup worn kits are in the range of $10 million. If the kits go for the expected price, it would make Messi’s kits the most valuable collection of sports memorabilia ever to go to auction. 



The six kits are from matches worn in two of the three group stage matches, the round of 16 win over Australia, the quarterfinals against the Netherlands, the semifinal against Croatia, and final against France. 



<h2>Details about Lionel Messi kit auction </h2>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231120#BUS#86772"></div>


The auction is set to take place from November 30 – December 14, a portion of the proceeds from the auction will be donated to UNICAS Project, led by Sant Joan de Déu (SJD) Barcelona Children’s Hospital to meet the needs of children suffering from rare diseases. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="877" height="599" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231120_BUS_86801_Screenshot-2023-11-20-175714.webp&amp;width=877&amp;height=599" alt="" class="wp-image-86804" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/Screenshot-2023-11-20-175714.png 877w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/Screenshot-2023-11-20-175714-300x205.png 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/Screenshot-2023-11-20-175714-768x525.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 877px) 100vw, 877px"></figure><figcaption>Messi on Instagram over the auction </figcaption></figure>



The general public will be allowed to view the kits at Sotheby’s in New York while they’re up for action. The highest price paid for a game worn kit belongs to Michael Jordan and his NBA finals kit for the Chicago Bulls in 1998, it went for $10.091 million. 


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231120#BUS#86711"></div>


Then the famous Hand of God Argentina kit from the 1986 World Cup match against England that belonged to Argentine legend Diego Maradona went for $9.28 million in May of 2022.

Matchday 6 of the South American 2026 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup-qualifiers">World Cup Qualifiers</a> will bring us a must-watch derby between two powerhouses. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brazil">Brazil</a> host <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina">Argentina</a> at the iconic Maracana on Tuesday, November 21 in a must-win game for both lifelong rivals. Here, take a look at the confirmed lineups.



The Canarinha head back home following a painful loss in Colombia, who pulled off <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/video-luis-diazs-brace-seals-colombias-2-1-comeback-win-over-brazil-20231117-BUS-86211.html">a massive comeback</a> in Barranquilla. It was the second defeat in a row for Fernando Diniz‘s men, who had previously lost to Uruguay in October. Since they had drawn with Venezuela before that, the Selecao are now on a three-game winless streak.



La Albiceleste, meanwhile, also aim to get back to winning ways. Last time out, the reigning world champions were handed their first loss of the year by Uruguay. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> and company had gotten used to winning, which is why they’ll visit Rio de Janeiro looking for all three points.



<h2>Brazil starting XI</h2>



Brazil were struck by injuries lately. Not only did Diniz have to deal with multiple absences heading into this window, but he also lost players during the week. Vinicius Junior, for instance, will be out for two months after picking up a hamstring injury in Colombia.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231120_BUS_86772_viniciusjr-1024x576.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Vinicius Jr will be out for two months" class="wp-image-86279" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/viniciusjr-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/viniciusjr-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/viniciusjr-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/viniciusjr-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/viniciusjr.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Vinicius Jr will be out for two months</figcaption></figure>



The Real Madrid star has unfortunately joined the likes of Neymar, Casemiro, Richarlison, and Danilo in the list of injured Brazilian players. Therefore, Diniz will have to rely on other names to try and take down the reigning world champs.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231117#BUS#86019"></div>


Brazil lineup: Alisson; Emerson, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhaes, Carlos Augusto; Bruno Giumaraes, Andre; Raphinha, Rodrygo, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli.



<h2>Argentina lineup</h2>



Lionel Scaloni will shake things up for this clash in the wake of his team’s recent loss. Nicolas Gonzalez, who started against Uruguay, will start on the bench to make room for Giovani Lo Celso.


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="655bb871f2b571abd7e491e9" data-title="Who will win?" data-options="3"></div>


Lautaro Martinez and Julian Alvarez again battled it out for a spot in the team, but the Manchester City star once again got the upper hand. Additionally, Marcos Acuña will replace Nicolas Tagliafico at left-back.



Argentina lineup: Emiliano Martinez; Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Nicolas Otamendi, Marcos Acuña; Rodrigo De Paul, Enzo Fernández, Alexis Mac Allister, Giovani Lo Celso; Lionel Messi, Julián Álvarez.

<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231117#BUS#86019"></div>


Mudslinging between Argentines and Brazilians prior to this special matchup is always on the docket.

When Endrick was asked if he was a fan of Lionel Messi, Endrick responded, “Messi? Am a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo.” 



<h2>Endrick to Real Madrid </h2>



When Endrick turns 18, he will be off to Real Madrid where the striker was purchased for over $60 million, and it will be a three year deal. 


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231117#BUS#86189"></div>


Some pundits have stated the transfer is really $30 million but it can reach over $60 million if the young star reaches certain objectives.

Brazilian phenom Endrick takes jab at Argentina - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/uruguay">Uruguay</a> pulled off a shock by beating <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina">Argentina</a> in Buenos Aires on Matchday 5 of the South American 2026 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup-qualifiers">World Cup Qualifiers</a>. The reigning world champs arrived in this game riding on a long unbeaten streak, which is why the victory tasted even better for the visitors.



La Celeste celebrated ending their rivals’ undefeated run by poking fun at an Argentine news outlet that suggested La Albiceleste were invincible. A few days before the match, Diario Ole wrote “Is there any team in the world that can beat them?” along with a picture of Lionel Messi and company.



The social media team of Uruguay posted a video with Ronald Araujo and Darwin Nuñez’s goals as well as Diario Ole’s tweet. It was La Celeste’s first victory in Argentina since 1987, so it’s safe to say they’re enjoying this moment.

<h2>Argentina’s unbeaten run comes to an end</h2>



Uruguay handed Argentina their first loss in a while. Lionel Scaloni’s team hadn’t lost since their debut in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, when Saudi Arabia produced a memorable, come-from-behind upset.



Before this match, Argentina had won every game they played. Besides, goalkeeper Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martinez didn’t concede a goal since the World Cup final against France, so that’s another streak the Uruguayan side ended on Thursday.


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="6557cfdbf2b571abd7e48d79" data-title="Can Argentina win the World Cup in 2026?" data-options="2"></div>


Either way, Argentina are still top of the South American Qualifying with 12 points after five games. But Uruguay now are within touching distance of the leaders, as they have 10 points.



<h2>An exciting Matchday 6 of the South American Qualifiers</h2>



The Conmebol road to the 2026 World Cup resumes Tuesday with five thrilling matchups. The sixth round will be headlined by the South American derby between <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/how-to-watch-brazil-vs-argentina-for-free-in-the-us-tv-channel-and-live-streaming-20231117-BUS-86019.html">Brazil and Argentina</a>, though.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231117#BUS#86196"></div>


Both the Selecao and La Albiceleste arrive in this round aiming to get back to winning ways. While Messi and company want to bounce back from their recent loss, Fernando Diniz’s men are riding on a three-game winless streak, having lost their last two games.



The iconic Maracana stadium will be home to this exciting clash, so the soccer community may be in for a treat. Elsewhere, Paraguay take on Colombia, Uruguay host Bolivia, Ecuador face Chile, and Peru play Venezuela.

The November international break will be over soon, but first it will deliver a highly anticipated game in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup-qualifiers">Conmebol Qualifiers</a>. Lifelong rivals <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brazil">Brazil</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina">Argentina</a> clash today at the emblematic Maracana on Matchday 6 of the road to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup">2026 World Cup</a>, in another edition of the South American derby.

The Selecao will be looking to redeem themselves against the reigning world champions, whose path to the ultimate glory started by winning the Copa America in Brazilian soil in 2021.



With <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> leading the team, La Albiceleste has dominated the continent and the world in recent years, while La Verde-amarela looked like a shell of themselves lately. 



Since their win over Brazil at the Maracana in the 2021 Copa America final, Argentina went on to win the Finalissima and World Cup, proving they’re the best team on Earth right now.

Brazil may boast more World Cup titles than any other team, including the defending champs, but they seem to be going through an identity crisis. Therefore, the upcoming derby could be a great opportunity for redemption.

The South American Qualifiers may be just getting started, but neither <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina">Argentina</a> nor <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/uruguay">Uruguay</a> are taking their game lightly. Only a few minutes into their derby, things got spicy and even <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> couldn’t keep his cool.



Mathias Olivera got furious at Rodrigo De Paul after challenging for a ball, and those around them immediately got involved but not to calm things down. Far from trying to make amends, Messi was mad at the Uruguayan player, grabbing him by the throat in the melee.



The referee didn’t show any yellow or red cards, though, and the game continued as if nothing happened. For those who watch South American soccer regularly, these kinds of situations are quite frequent.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



In fact, even Messi has forged a reputation for being a player who can get angry with his opponents. That being said, to see him grab another player by the neck was still quite shocking.

<h2>Uruguay take the lead in Argentina</h2>



Though things got heated from the very beginning, both teams tried to move on and continued looking for the opening goal. Argentina, however, struggled to find a way past the Uruguayan defense.



La Celeste, on the other hand, capitalized on a terrible mistake by Nahuel Molina in the hosts’ own box. Matias Viña’s pressure on the Atletico Madrid right-back paid off, as the Uruguayan left-back recovered the ball to cross the ball for Ronald Araujo.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



The Barcelona defender had a great finish to put the visitors in front, making Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martinez concede his first goal since the 2022 World Cup final.



<h2>Argentina still atop the Conmebol qualifiers</h2>



While the game still has at least 45 minutes left, Argentina know they will head into Matchday 6 top of the standings regardless of their result tonight. That’s because they arrived in the fifth round five points clear of Brazil, Uruguay, and Venezuela.



But if they don’t turn things around against La Celeste, the reigning world champions’ lead could be on the line. On Tuesday, November 21, Lionel Scaloni’s team will take on Brazil in a highly anticipated derby.



The 2026 World Cup is still a few years away from us, but the road to the tournament is already heating up. Argentina should have no problem to qualify, but that’s not enough for them. La Albiceleste are as competitive as they come, so they will always seek perfection.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina">Argentina</a> had to move from Estadio Mas Monumental for the November international window. The River Plate stadium has recently hosted three <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/taylor-swift">Taylor Swift</a> concerts, which is why <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> and company will welcome <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/uruguay">Uruguay</a> to La Bombonera on Matchday 5 of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup-qualifiers">South American Qualifiers</a>.



Though La Albiceleste don’t have an own stadium, the Monumental has traditionally been home to the Argentine national team. Especially since the venue underwent renovation in the last few years, extending its capacity to 86,000.



However, the Argentine Football Federation (AFA) decided to change its venue with some anticipation as Taylor Swift had three scheduled shows last weekend. The popular singer performed at the stadium on Nov. 9, 11, and 12 as part of her “Eras Tour.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231114#BUS#84921"></div>


Unsurprisingly, the shows took a toll on the Monumental field. Fortunately, AFA knew this could happen so it decided to prepare the change of venue with time. Besides, it’s not the first time Lionel Scaloni’s team plays away from the Monumental.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="753" height="593" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231116_BUS_86067_image-8.webp&amp;width=753&amp;height=593" alt="" class="wp-image-86072" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/image-8.png 753w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/image-8-300x236.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 753px) 100vw, 753px"></figure></figure>



<h2>The last time Argentina changed stadium</h2>



Though this will be the first time they leave the Monumental in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers, Argentina had already played at another stadium this year. In March, they played Curazao at the Estadio Madre de Ciudades in Santiago del Estero, in the north of the country.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231115#BUS#85689"></div>


That was their second game after the Qatar 2022 success, and the team wanted to celebrate the triumph outside Buenos Aires as well. But a year before that, La Albiceleste also played their last game in the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers at La Bombonera.



On that occasion, Scaloni’s men wrapped up a remarkable campaign with a 3-0 triumph over Venezuela. Will they repeat that kind of performance this time? We’ll have to wait and see, but it may not be so easy.



<h2>Argentina vs. Uruguay preview</h2>



The reigning world champions may be favorites in pretty much every game they play, but Uruguay are, on paper, a challenging opponent. La Celeste are starting a new era under Marcelo Bielsa, and they’ve already upset Brazil.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231115#BUS#85432"></div>


Luis Suarez returned to the team for the November break, but the team is leaning towards a change of generation. Ronald Araujo is establishing himself as the leader of the defense, while Manuel Ugarte is becoming the new boss in the middle of the park – next to Federico Valverde, of course. Besides, the likes of Suarez or Edinson Cavani are not leading their attacking line anymore, since now it’s time for Facundo Pellistri, Darwin Nuñez and Maximiliano Araujo.



Uruguay head into this match with seven points in four games (W2 D1 L1). Apart from beating Brazil, they took down Chile. Bielsa’s arrival promises to give La Celeste a more offensive style of play, when they got used to being a more defensive-minded team during Oscar Wasington Tabarez’s tenure.



Argentina, on the other hand, arrive in this game as leaders of the standings with a perfect record (W4). The world champions have dominated from the very beginning, beating Ecuador, Peru, Paraguay, and Ecuador so far. The world champs’ chemistry remains untouched, but it will be interesting to see if they can keep up with their commanding performances against a rising team like Uruguay.

The reigning world champions have started the road towards the 2026 World Cup in great fashion, having won all four games so far. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> and company are top of the standings with 12 points, five points clear of their upcoming opponents.



La Celeste have started the Marcelo Bielsa era on the right foot, claiming 7 points in their first four matches (W2 D1 L1). The upcoming game will probably be the most challenging fixture in a while for Uruguay, so it will be interesting to see what they can do at La Bombonera.

L<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-scaloni" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ionel Scaloni</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Argentina</a> are getting ready for two big games in South American World Cup qualifying for the FIFA World Cup in 2026.

In a press conference in the lead up to a big game against La Celeste, Argentine manager Lionel Scaloni was firm in his response revolving around Messi’s latest Ballon D’ Or.



<h2>Lionel Scaloni on Ballon D’ Or</h2>



Lionel Scaloni stated when asked about Messi’s eighth Ballon D’ Or and if it was a “gimme” win for the Inter Miami star: “I don’t really understand those who (hate) Messi’s Ballon d’Or. I imagine it is because they want to generate a debate, but I no longer believe there is one. The important thing is that he won one more and we all believe that it is fair.”

Scaloni, who has been in charge of Argentina since 2018, is one of the countries all-time winningest coaches, having won 3 titles, and compiled an impressive 45-15-5 record.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230816#BUS#47103"></div>


<h2>Conmebol World Cup qualifying</h2>



Entering match day 5, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Venezuela, and Colombia are in the top 5 spots. A total of 6 direct slots go to the 2026 World Cup and one inter-confederation play-off slot are available for CONMEBOL teams.

International soccer is back with an exciting double-fixture in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup-qualifiers">South American Qualifiers</a>. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brazil">Brazil</a> arrive in the November international break aiming to get back to winning ways, but <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colombia">Colombia</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina">Argentina</a> will probably not make things easy. Besides, Casemiro will not take the field this time.



The Manchester United has been on the sidelines since the loss to Uruguay in October due to a knock. The veteran midfielder has already missed four games with the Red Devils, and now he wasn’t even called up by Fernando Diniz.



His absence will certainly mean a huge challenge for the Selecao, who have to see if there’s a reliable replacement for the former Real Madrid star. Fluminense sensation Andre or Newcastle star Bruno Guimaraes will probably fill in his vacancy.



<h2>Injuries hurt Brazil’s squad</h2>



While Casemiro is a significant casualty for these fixtures, he will not be the only notable absence on the Canarinha squad. Apart from the Man Utd star, Brazil will miss the likes of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/neymar">Neymar</a>, Richarlison, Ederson and Danilo due to injury.

The Al Hilal star went under the knife after suffering a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus in his left knee during his nation’s latest 2-0 loss in Montevideo. Therefore, he’s expected to be on the sidelines for almost eight months.

The Tottenham forward, meanwhile will undergo surgery on his pubic bone after claiming he’s been playing through injury for months. As for the Manchester City goalkeeper, he was ruled out due to a foot injury sustained during the draw against Chelsea. Additionally, the Juventus defender has yet to recover from a hamstring strain in his left leg in the October international window.



<h2>Diniz calls up new faces</h2>



In the wake of the winless October break in addition to the number of injuries sustained by its stars, the Brazilian national team squad for the November will have plenty of new faces.



Perhaps the biggest storyline about Diniz’s roster is the presence of Endrick, the 17-year-old gem who will join Real Madrid from Palmeiras in 2024. But the Fluminense manager has also called up players from his club, such as defender Nino and midfielder Andre.

With Ederson injured, Alisson is expected to start between the sticks. Behind him, Brazil will have two local players in Bento (Athletico) and Lucas Perri (Botafogo). Other interesting names are Joao Pedro, who is enjoying a great start to life at Brighton, and Aston Villa sensation Douglas Luiz.



But of course, Brazil’s faces in this window will probably be Real Madrid duo Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo. Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli could be another player to watch, though.

Matchday 5 of the South American 2026 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup-qualifiers">World Cup Qualifiers</a> will bring us a must-watch game between <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina">Argentina</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/uruguay">Uruguay</a>. On Thursday, November 16, the defending world champions host La Celeste at La Bombonera aiming to extend their winning streak.



Lionel Scaloni‘s men arrive in the November international break in high spirits, having won all four games in the Conmebol qualifying so far. Argentina head into this clash atop the standings without conceding a single goal.



Uruguay, on the other hand, are second on the table, five points shy of their upcoming opponents. The two-time world champs are starting a new era under Marcelo Bielsa, who has already led them to massive wins over Brazil and Chile. But will they pull off a shock in Buenos Aires?



<h2>Argentina’s lineup</h2>



With <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> leading the pack, Scaloni had some doubts in regard to the lineup. The biggest question was on the left wing, as the coach had to decide whether Angel Di Maria or Nicolas Gonzalez will start. In the end, the Fiorentina winger got the upper hand, benching Fideo this time.

The striker position was also up for grabs, with Lautaro Martinez and Julian Alvarez battling it out for the No. 9 shirt during the week. But the Manchester City star ultimately won the spot. The rest of the team remains untouched.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231114#BUS#84921"></div>


Argentina’s starting 11: Emiliano Martínez; Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Nicolás Otamendi, Nicolás Tagliafico; Rodrigo De Paul, Enzo Fernández, Alexis Mac Allister; Nicolás González, Lionel Messi, Julián Álvarez.



<h2>Uruguay’s starting XI</h2>



The biggest news about Bielsa’s squad for this international window is the return of Luis Suarez to the national team. The veteran striker had initially been overlooked by El Loco in the previous four games, but now looks ready to win a spot.


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="655410e1f2b571abd7e48771" data-title="Who will win?" data-options="3"></div>


However, the former Barcelona star will start on the bench for this clash. Uruguay will also welcome back Rodrigo Bentancur and Guillermo Varela, while Jose Maria Gimenez has already served a suspension from Qatar 2022. But none of them made the starting eleven tonight.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231115#BUS#85689"></div>


Uruguay’s lineup: Sergio Rochet; Ronald Araujo, Sebastián Cáceres, Mathias Olivera, Matias Viña; Federico Valverde, Manuel Ugarte, Nicolás De La Cruz; Facundo Pellistri, Darwin Núñez, Maximiliano Araujo.
