Argentina v Mauritania Predictions
Argentina will have far too much quality for their African opponents, and an easy win should be expected in Buenos Aires. I have my stake on the hosts to cover a 3.5 handicap this weekend.
Easy Win on the Cards
- Argentina won 8 of their last 10 matches
- Mauritania lost 3 of their last 4 matches
Argentina and Mauritania Set For First-Ever Encounter
Argentina and Mauritania will meet for the first time this week.
Argentina Maintain Winning Formula
Argentina face their first fixture of 2026 after three successive friendly victories at the end of 2025. Lionel Scaloni's men edged past Venezuela (1-0), thrashed Puerto Rico (6-0) in October, and followed up with a 2-0 win against Angola in November.
Not afraid to put the pedal to the metal against lesser opponents, Scaloni's side also scored six goals in a one-sided World Cup qualification win against Bolivia 18 months ago.
The reigning FIFA World champions have been in typically solid form over the past year. Argentina won eight and lost only one of ten games completed since November 2024.
A strong defence has remained the foundation of the Argentine's success over the past four years. Los Albicelestes have kept clean sheets in seven of their last ten matches.
Mauritania Short in Form
Mauritania face the daunting trip to Buenos Aires now winless in six matches after a 2-0 defeat against Kuwait in an Arab Cup qualifier last November.
Two goals conceded in the first 23 minutes ensured an early exit for Aritz Lopez Garai's side.
Out of form in the past year, the African nation have failed to win any of their last six international fixtures.
Ranked over 110 places below their glamorous opponents, Mauritania missed out on World Cup qualification last year. A 4-0 defeat in Senegal last October ensured a fifth-place finish in CAF Group B.
Predicted Lineups and Team News
Argentina (4-4-2) Emiliano Martinez; Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Nicolas Otamendi, Nicolas Tagliafico; Giuliano Simeone, Enzo Fernandez, Alexis Mac Allister, Nicolas Paz; Lionel Messi, Julian Alvarez
Head coach Scaloni has an experienced 28-man squad available for Argentina's upcoming friendlies against Mauritania and Zambia.
Lionel Messi could earn his 197th international cap after being included among 21 players reportedly already confirmed by Lionel Scaloni for Argentina's 2026 World Cup squad.
Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martínez is a notable absentee from the Argentina squad, while Gonzalo Montiel and Leonardo Balerdi were both forced to withdraw from the initial selection.
Mauritania (4-3-3) Babacar Diop; Ibrahima Keita, Lamine Ba, Nouh Mohamed El Abd, Aly Abeid (c); Moctar Sidi El Hacen, Abdallahi Mahmoud, Guessouma Fofana; Aboubakary Koita, Souleymane Anne, Djeidi Gassama
Aritz Lopez Garai has a 26-man squad available for the trip to Argentina. Rangers winger Djeidi Gassama is one of four uncapped players included in the squad.
Experienced midfielder Moctar Sidi El Hacen is poised to win his 60th cap at Alberto Jose Armando Stadium.
Verdict
In a game where it should only be a question of how many, Argentina should ruthlessly dispatch their overmatched visitors in Buenos Aires.
The Argentines are tipped to win by at least four clear goals this weekend.
