Argentina vs Mauritania prediction

Lionel Messi is in good form as his Argentinian side begin real preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Lionel Scaloni’s reigning world champions defeated Angola by two goals to nil in November to make it three wins on the bounce since the conclusion of CONMENOL qualification for this summer’s tournament.

Mauritania come into this one on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Kuwait in the November international break, extending their winless run to six matches with just one win in 11.

Argentina were due to be playing Spain in the UEFA-CONMEBOL Finalissima but are instead seeking to get a send off from Argentine supporters with a heavy home win.
