Both Brazil and Argentina are gearing up for the 2019 Copa America, so the autumn friendly games offer an opportunity for coaches to experiment with personnel and fine-tune tactics.
Argentina are shorn of some of their most recognisable performers for the game, with Messi, Aguero and Di Maria among those not in the squad, but their absence has allowed space for the likes of Lautaro Martinez and Ricardo Pereyra to shine, not to mention the likes of Icardi and Paulo Dybala.
Brazil, on the other hand, boast a typically strong panel, with Tite including stars such as Neymar and Philippe Coutinho in his squad for the match. Nevertheless, the 57-year-old has included a number of new faces, with the likes of Richarlison, Arthur and Malcom being given a chance to impress.
Tite was not pleased with his side's performance in their 2-0 win over Saudi Arabia last week and he will be demanding a much more passionate display against their bitter rivals.
"We were not convincing,” Tite told reporters of his side's victory. "We won because we had creativity up front and that was it. Brazil versus Argentina is never a friendly. We hope to be better for that."
