Brazil, Argentina take the field tonight

Brazil take on Tunisia in an international friendly at Parc des Princes on Tuesday. The match will kick off at 12:30am Bangladesh time.

Both nations have qualified for the winter World Cup in Qatar, with this match representing their final match to prepare for the tournament.

Brazil, who are billed as the favourites to win their first World Cup for two decades, ran out comfortable 3-0 winners against Ghana in Le Havre on Friday evening.

Marquinhos got his side off to a flier with his fifth international goal coming in only the ninth minute, while a brace from Tottenham Hotspur's Richarlison essentially ended the match as a contest before the half-time whistle had even been blown.

Unsurprisingly, Tite took the opportunity to make six changes after the break, with the match petering out as a result. The 61-year-old may perversely hope to be pushed for longer periods by Tunisia in Paris on Tuesday.

That said, he will not want to see his team's six match winning streak come to an end ahead of November's opener against Serbia in Group G of the World Cup.

Tunisia, meanwhile, qualified for their second successive World Cup by beating Mali 1-0 on aggregate in March's final play-off round.

How Argentina might line up against Jamaica

Brazil's archrivals Argentina will play their penultimate warm-up friendly ahead of the winter World Cup when they face Jamaica in New Jersey on Tuesday. The match kicks off at 6:00am on Tuesday morning.

La Albiceleste recorded their sixth win in seven matches when beating Honduras 3-0 in Miami on Friday, with Lionel Messi bagging a brace after Lautaro Martinez had broken the deadlock 16 minutes into the match.

Lisandro Martinez and Cristian Romero travelled with the squad despite facing visa issues when attempting to travel from England, although the latter was not selected so he will be hoping to lay a claim for a starting spot in Qatar.

Enzo Fernandez made his international debut from the bench against Honduras and may displace Leandro Paredes at the base of midfield, while Angel Di Maria should offer fresh legs on the left flank having been an unused substitute during the comfortable victory.

Messi and Martinez will be relishing the prospect of adding to their impressive international goal tallies of 88 and 21 respectively, so head coach Lionel Scaloni is likely to allow the duo to continue to build on their flourishing partnership in attack.

Gonzalo Montiel and Nicolas Otamendi could be handed chances in defence, but Rodrigo De Paul and Giovanni Lo Celso could be asked to go again, as the dynamic duo provide an accomplished blend of industry and technical ability at either side of the midfield three.
