This Tuesday, Argentina vs Curacao will be the second celebration of the world champions with their people after the memorable victory at the World Cup Qatar 2022.
It will be the first direct confrontation between the two teams ever. A priori, it looks like a friendly match of little relevance like the others, but that idea was proven wrong after Brazil’s defeat against Morocco on Saturday. This setback will definitely benefit the light-blue-and-white team, which, if it wins, will reach the top of the FIFA rankings for the April update.
Without further ado, the best preview of this Argentina vs Curaçao friendly match is available at JefeBet where you can find the predictions, the best odds, and the most important information of the match.

Betting on Argentina
The South American team is on cloud nine ahead of this Argentina vs Curacao match. After their victory in Qatar 2022, they defeated Panama with a score of 2–0 thanks to Thiago Almada and Lionel Messi’s goals in front of a packed crowd at the Estadio Más Monumental. Around 80,000 people enjoyed an exhibition by the world’s best player, who scored a stunning free kick goal at the end of the match.
If we take into consideration the lineup that played against the Panamanians, Messi would be one of the few starters who would start in this Argentina vs Curacao friendly match. What’s not certain at all is the presence of Emiliano Martínez, who could play 45 minutes and then give his place to Franco Armani.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Emiliano Martínez; Gonzalo Montiel, Germán Pezzella, Nicolás Otamendi, Nicolás Tagliafico; Rodrigo De Paul, Enzo Fernández, Giovani Lo Celso; Lionel Messi, Lautaro Martínez, and Ángel Di María or Nicolás González.
Betting on Curaçao
The outlook is not encouraging for Curaçao, which has suffered four losses in a row. Two of them were against Canada, who defeated them by 2-0 last Saturday in the fifth round of Group C of the CONCACAF Nations League and relegated them to the second tier.
With a string of bad results under their belts, Remko Bicentini’s starting eleven will be looking to come out on top when they visit the world champions. Of course, the eight goals conceded in their four games in the CONCACAF Nations League are evidence of their shortcomings when it comes to defending.
We must go back to December 6, 2022, to find the Caribbean’s last success: It was a close 2-1 win over Honduras, with goals by Leandro Bacuna and Anthony van den Hurk, a Dutchman who became a citizen of Curaçao. Will Curacao be able to pull up the upset in this Argentina vs Curacao matchup?
Possible Lineup (5-4-1): Eloy Room; Nathangelo Markelo, Cuco Martina, Roshon van Eijma, Sherel Floranus, Vurnon Anita; Leandro Bacuna, Brandley Kuwas, Juninho Bacuna, Richairo Zivkovic; Rangelo Janga.
JefeBet Prediction
The difference between the two teams is abysmal. This match will be a thrashing, as a soccer powerhouse and the current world champions will be playing against a team currently ranked 86th in the FIFA Ranking with 1278. 64 points, well below the 1840.94 units that the winner of the last World Cup has. For this reason, at JefeBet we predict a comfortable win in favor of the local team in this Argentina vs Curacao friendly match.
Prediction: Moneyline of Argentina and Over (ARG 5-0 CUR).
