Argentina vs Burkina Faso Preview

Argentina are rolling into this friendly on the back of five consecutive victories, a run that includes a commanding 4-0 demolition of Bolivia in their first outing after the World Cup. Lionel Scaloni has used this window to blood fresh talent, handing debuts to the likes of Roman Vega and Ezequiel Fernandez. With Messi absent and reserved for a farewell appearance against Benin, this is firmly about the next generation proving themselves at the Monumental.

Burkina Faso arrive in Buenos Aires having snapped a four-game winless run with a narrow 1-0 victory over the Central African Republic in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying. Under new coach Amir Abdou, the Stallions face their first match against a non-African opponent, a steep challenge against the world's second-ranked nation. Reports of significant travel disruptions, including two false starts from Morocco, could leave the squad short on preparation time and energy.

Argentina's home record at the Estadio Monumental tells the full story here. With 24 wins, six draws, and just two defeats across their last 32 matches at the venue, backing the home win at 1.13 is the most logical selection. Burkina Faso's travel disruptions only compound the challenge facing Amir Abdou's squad on their first trip outside Africa under his stewardship.

The goals market also presents a strong case. Argentina put four past Bolivia without reply last time out, and Scaloni's squad depth means fresh legs will keep the intensity high. Burkina Faso managed just one goal in their recent qualifier win. Over 2.5 goals at N/A looks well-priced given the gulf in quality between these two sides.

A clean sheet for the hosts rounds out the selections. Burkina Faso ended a four-game winless run with a narrow 1-0 victory, hardly the form of a team likely to breach Argentina's backline. With Scaloni rotating defenders eager to impress, expect a disciplined defensive showing. Both teams to score: No at 13.50 carries genuine value in this first-ever meeting between the nations. Odds correct at time of publication.

Trends to Know about Argentina vs Burkina Faso

• Argentina boast five straight wins
• Burkina Faso plagued by travel disruptions
• Home record: 24 wins in 32 matches

A mirror-image 4-3-3 vs 4-3-3 sets up an intriguing tactical duel, with Julian Alvarez spearheading Argentina's attack alongside the creative Gianluca Prestianni. The Albiceleste lineup carries a probable tag backed by multiple outlets, giving it reasonable confidence ahead of this October friendly.

Burkina Faso's XI comes from a single source and should be treated with caution, as the Stallions' final shape may shift before kickoff. Lassina Traoré leads the line in the speculated setup, and if it holds, the West Africans will look to press high and test Argentina's defensive structure.
