Angola vs Argentina Prediction, Lineups, Injuries, and Team News

Angola will face Argentina in an international friendly on 14th November, at the Estádio Nacional 11 de Novembro in Luanda, Angola. The last time these two teams met was for a friendly in 2006, when Argentina triumphed with a 2-0 win through goals from Maxi Rodriguez and Juan Pablo Sorin.

Angola are coming off a disappointing World Cup qualifying campaign, as they finished fourth in their group (Group D) after winning and losing just two games each but drawing a total of six games. They finished with 12 points from their 10 games played, scoring 9 but conceding 8. Their last game in the Qualifiers was a frustrating 0-0 draw against Cameroon.

They will be playing for pride in this match and figuring out their final tactics before the Africa Cup of Nations next month. They will eye the 2030 World Cup to have a chance of featuring again in the world's biggest footballing event since their appearance in the 2006 World Cup in Germany. They are unbeaten in their last three games under newly appointed manager Patrice Beaumelle and will look to keep the momentum going.

Argentina national football team on the other hand, have already qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. They recorded a total of 12 wins out of 18, with two draws and four losses. La Albiceleste finished as the table toppers with 38 points, displaying total domination. They are coming off a 6-0 thrashing of Puerto Rico and will want to close out the calendar year with a strong performance. Argentina were originally scheduled to play against Australia national football team before Angola, but the match has been postponed, which makes this game the last of the year for La Albiceleste.
