Argentina host Benin in an International Friendly on 7 October 2026, with the numbers below current as of 5 October 2026. Neither side has a league table attached to this fixture, so the context here comes entirely from each nation’s recent run of matches rather than any standings.
Head-to-Head Record
There are no recorded meetings between Argentina and Benin in the data available, so this fixture arrives without a head-to-head history to lean on. With no prior scoreline, goal tally or draw count to reference, the more useful guide to how this match might unfold is the current form and competitive context of each side, covered below.
Argentina: Recent Form
Argentina go into this friendly on the back of a W W D W D W run across their last six matches, winning four, drawing two and losing none, with 17 goals scored against just 4 conceded (an average of 2.83 for and 0.67 against per match). That form is built on a ppg of 2.33, three clean sheets and only one match in which they failed to score. Two of those six matches were friendlies, including the most recent outing, a 7-0 win over Burkina Faso, and a 4-0 win over Bolivia before that – both played outside competitive World Cup qualification, so they shouldn’t be read as results against World Cup-calibre opposition.

Benin: Recent Form
Benin’s last six matches read W D L D W W, for a record of three wins, two draws and one loss, 7 goals scored and 8 conceded (1.17 for and 1.33 against per game), with a ppg of 1.83. They have kept two clean sheets in that span and have found the net in every one of those six matches. Four of the six were friendlies, so only two of the results – a 2-1 win over Mauritania and a 1-1 draw with Burkina Faso, both in the CAF Africa Cup of Nations – came in a fully competitive setting.
