The Albiceleste won the Finalissima trophy on Wednesday

Argentina and Estonia clash for the first time ever as the sides meet for a friendly game at the El Sadar Stadium in Pamplona, Spain on Sunday.

The Albiceleste are coming off the back of a 3-0 defeat of Italy in the Finalissima at Wembley, lifting their second international trophy in less than a year.

Lionel Messi and co. are currently on their best run in history, going 32 games unbeaten in all competitions since a 2-0 defeat to Brazil in the 2019 Copa America semi-finals.

The reigning South American champions will hope to continue their preparations for the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar with another victory this weekend.

Estonia, ranked 106 places below Argentina, beat San Marino earlier this week to kick-start their 2022-23 UEFA Nations League campaign on a bright note.

Argentina vs Estonia Prediction

Even if their best players start on the bench, Argentina have enough quality in their ranks to comfortably see off Estonia, who are unable to compete on a level footing with their illustrious South American opponents.
