Brazil's territorial edge in the first friendly did not shut Argentina out of the penalty area. Duda Sampaio supplied Brazil through forward passes and dead balls, while Argentina found a central receiver and a runner arriving beyond her. The rematch centres on Brazil's changed midfield against Argentina's high press, with the next pass and the next tracked runner shaping the contest.
Duda delivered the corner behind Geyse's goal and started the move that Luany laid off for Angelina. Those sequences give Brazil routes through combinations and loose balls after deliveries. Argentina's reply had a different shape: Ippólito received centrally and supplied Pereyra's arrival inside the box. Each team recorded five shots on target in the first meeting.
Angelina's injury removes a player who connected moves and contributed to the goals, with Kaylane reported as her replacement. Bruninha's injury reduces Brazil's fullback options. Kerolin and Bia Zaneratto are available again after suspension, adding receiving and finishing choices, while Tarciane returns to the defensive options. Argentina's projected team keeps Ippólito and Pereyra; suspended Vargas entered only after their goal, so her absence leaves that starting connection intact.
Arthur Elias expects Argentina to press high and wants Brazil to use possession more clearly. I expect the opening exchanges to focus on Duda and the revised midfield finding the forwards beyond that pressure, with Argentina looking for Ippólito's layoff and Pereyra's run when it wins the ball. The first friendly also showed Argentina finding a reply after Brazil had built a lead.
That is why I'm backing Brazil and Argentina to each find the net. Brazil's retained delivery and available forwards meet an Argentina attack with a demonstrated connection into the box, giving me a concrete scoring case for each team.
