The match will be played from 5:30 p.m. at the National Brígido Iriarte stadium in Caracas, with transmission by TyC Sports.
Argentina will arrive with two points, after drawing 2-2 with Venezuela and 3-3 with Paraguay, and Brazil with three, due to its last victory over Venezuela (2-1).
In this context, Javier Mascherano’s team will be forced to defeat Endrick’s powerful Brazil to have a guaranteed ticket, since another result will leave them eliminated.
Argentina was a two-time Olympic champion, with gold medals obtained in Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008, while Brazil won it once when it hosted Rio de Janeiro 2016.
In relation to the possible national team, the confirmed absence due to injury is that of Juan Nardoni, one of the important figures in the competition, who suffers from a slight tear. In his place will be Joaquín García.
In addition, Gonzalo Luján and Valentín Barco completed their respective suspensions for the red cards suffered with Venezuela and will be able to reappear in the starting eleven.
The question is whether Mascherano, who threatened to leave office after tomorrow’s game, will use Luciano Gondou – the team’s top scorer – from the start or will continue to do so in the final minutes with the team needing a good result as he did throughout of the entire Pre-Olympic.
Later, at 8 p.m., Venezuela (1) will face Paraguay (4) with the option of defining another place for the Olympic Games. Paraguay was a silver medalist in Athens 2004.
