That is 8:00 PM locally.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States the match streams on ViX and Prime Video.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Argentina vs Benin: what&#8217;s at stake?<\/h2>\n<p>This is the end of it. Lionel Messi plays his last match for Argentina on Tuesday, closing a twenty-one-year international career on 208 caps and 125 goals &#8212; both national records, neither likely to be threatened soon. He announced the decision after the World Cup final defeat to Spain in July, saying he had nothing more to give.<\/p>\n<p>He skipped Saturday&#8217;s friendly against Burkina Faso deliberately, joining the squad only for this one. Argentina won that game 7-0, five of them before half-time, which tells you roughly what a motivated Albiceleste side does to opposition of this level even without their captain.<\/p>\n<p>Benin are here to make up the numbers and will know it. The honest framing is that Tuesday is a ceremony with a football match attached, and the market has priced it accordingly: Argentina are -2500, Benin +7000.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Team news and talking points<\/h2>\n<p>Messi is back in the squad for this game only, alongside Rodrigo De Paul and Giovani Lo Celso. Expect him to start and expect the occasion to shape everything \u2014 substitutions, the armband, the pace of the game after the result is settled. Benin arrive at the end of a long trip with nothing riding on the outcome. Saturday\u2019s 7-0 is the most recent evidence of what this Argentina side does when it is allowed to play, and the rest of the window is in our <a href=\"\/us\/news\/internationals\/\">international coverage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Argentina vs Benin prediction<\/h2>\n<p>Farewell matches are rarely competitive and this one has no business being close. Argentina scored seven on Saturday against a better side than Benin, and Tuesday adds Messi, a full house and a squad that will want to send him off properly. Benin will defend deep, concede early and fade. Prediction: Argentina 4-0.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Argentina vs Benin FAQ<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What time is Argentina vs Benin?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Argentina vs Benin kicks off at 7:00 PM ET \/ 4:00 PM PT on Tuesday, October 6 &#8212; 8:00 PM local time in Buenos Aires.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What channel is Argentina vs Benin on in the US?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The match streams on ViX and Prime Video in the United States.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Where is Argentina vs Benin being played?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Argentina vs Benin is being played at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Who will win Argentina vs Benin?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Our prediction is Argentina 4-0.
