Puerto Rico was very close from being in the third and final round of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifiers coached by Englishman Charlie Trout, where Puerto Rico has demonstrated improvement and will be excited to be tested against world class opposition. Puerto Rico’s captain Ricardo Rivera, who has found the back of the net 18 times for the national team, is one of the team’s biggest threats. Rivera needs to create space and finish if Puerto Rico has hopes of impacting the match.

Loosely similar to Puerto Rico, the world class team of Argentina continues impressive efforts with managing coach Lionel Scaloni. The reigning world champions finished first in the table of the CONMEBOL Qualifiers, and just recently beat Venezuela 1-0 in a friendly. The match might see Scaloni mix up his squad and possibly include younger players like Paz and Enzo Fernandez.

Star forward Lautaro Martinez, who has been in fantastic form for Inter Milan, will headline the attack. We do not know if Lionel Messi will be available, but the Albiceleste certainly have the attacking options in Julian Alvarez, Lo Celso, and Tagliafico. Argentina will look to treat the game like a preparation match for their next round of international fixtures and Puerto Rico will look to gain some experience.

Puerto Rico vs Argentina Match Prediction

Argentina is a huge favorite going into this game. They have a much better team than Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico will probably try to defend a lot and attack when they can, but Argentina’s group of Fernandez, Paredes, and Lo Celso should be able to keep the ball most of the time.

Here’s why Argentina should win:

• They haven’t lost in their last five games and were the best team in the South American Qualifiers.
• They have really good forwards like Lautaro Martinez and Julian Alvarez.
• Their defense, with Cristian Romero leading it, has been very strong lately.

Argentina will probably control the game. They’ll use it to try out different player combinations and get ready for their next international games. Puerto Rico might try hard, but Argentina is just better and should win without too much trouble.

Predicted Winner: Argentina
Score Prediction: Puerto Rico 0-3 Argentina
