Brazil face Argentina in the Quarter-Final of the FIFA World Cup 2026, at Gillette Stadium, Boston. It is listed for Thursday 9 July 2026, with kick-off at 18:00 ET, which is 3:30 am IST (10 Jul) in India. It is a neutral venue for both sides, so the model gives neither a home edge.
Brazil bring the sharper attack (91/100), while Argentina have the sturdier back line (87/100). The side whose strength suits Gillette Stadium gets the first say. Two names that could tilt it are Rodrygo for Brazil and Julián Álvarez for Argentina.
Gillette Stadium is an open-air stadium where the evening breeze can be a factor in the second half. Our model projects 0-1 at full time on expected goals of 1.3 for Brazil and 1.3 for Argentina, with the first goal typically arriving between minutes 13–46. Because this is a knockout tie, a level score goes to extra time and penalties, and the model gives Argentina a 51% chance to progress.
