Although the Argentine National Team will have risky visits to Chile and Ecuador ahead, this double date of November appears as the most difficult thing on the calendar towards the Qatar World Cup 2022. And beyond continuing to collect beans for the classification, against Brazil, Lionel Scaloni's team will try to maintain the tremendous undefeated of 26 games that they have accumulated.

La Scaloneta lost for the last time in the semifinals of the Copa América 2019, against Brazil, and then didn't fall again. Along the way, in addition to qualifying matches and some friendlies, he broke the 28-year drought without titles and was champion at Maracana. In total, Scaloni led 37 matches for the National Team, with 22 victories, 11 draws and 4 defeats.

In this way, the Scaloni Selection accumulates the second longest undefeated in Albiceleste history. Ahead was only the record set in the first cycle of Coco Basile: 33 matches between February 19, 1991 and August 8, 1993, with two Copa América titles included. In addition, Argentina is today the national team that has not lost the longest in the world.

With Lionel Messi in doubt, since he joined the National Team with some physical discomfort, Argentina will host Brazil in San Juan on Tuesday, two duels where the demand will be maximum. However, the classic rivals already suffered the Scaloneta both in friendlies and in games for the points: the final of the Copa América and the recent 3-0 against Celeste, the most remembered.
