Angola vs Argentina prediction: WORLD: Friendly International betting tips on match 2025-11-13 16:00.
[p]Angola will mark their golden jubilee independence day celebrations by hosting an international friendly against current world champions Argentina, who are playing their last match of 2025.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]The Estádio 11 de Novembro will be the venue for the occasion as Angola look to put recent disappointment behind them, having finished fourth in Group D in the African section of FIFA World Cup qualifying (W2, D6, L2), failing in their quest to qualify for the tournament for just the second time ever. The Black Sable Antelopes, ranked 89th in the world by FIFA, are unlikely to have much hope of upsetting the odds in Luanda as they have won only two of their last nine games (D4, L3), and have recorded just one win in their last five matches at this stadium (D1, L3).[/p]
[p]Reigning world champions Argentina were the first South American side to qualify for next year’s World Cup, finishing top of the CONMEBOL qualification group (W12, D2, L4) – at least nine points ahead of everyone else. With a visit to India postponed until the next international window, La SelecciĂłn will look to build on strong recent form of seven wins in nine games (D1, L1). Two away victories in their last six such matches (D1, L3) is certainly not the best form heading into this fixture though.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]The only previous H2H was a friendly in May 2006 that Argentina won 2-0, with the current head coach Lionel Scaloni among the substitutes along with Lionel Messi.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Angola’s Gelson Dala could look to impact proceedings early, as his last six competitive international goals have all come before the hour mark.

[p]Angola seemingly have no reported injury absences for this high-profile fixture. Emiliano MartĂnez has been rested by Argentina, while Franco Mastantuono will miss the game because of a groin injury.[/p]
