Chile vs Argentina Preview and Team News

Chile Team News

Chile are on course to have their worst campaign in years, ranking last in the group with ten points in 14 matches. The appointment of Ricardo Gareca raised expectations for the World Cup Qualifiers, but this was short-lived.

The squad defeated Venezuela in late November (4-2) but have not won since. They lost a crucial game to Paraguay, where both teams had their chances; however, a goal from Alderete decided the meeting. In their last encounter, Chile drew with Ecuador (0-0), opting for a low block instead. 

Gareca will be without Luciano Cabral and Paulo Díaz, who are both out because of injuries.

Chile Predicted line-up vs Argentina (4-3-3): Cortes; Loyola, Maripán, Fernández, Suazo; Echeverria, Vidal, Pizarro; Sánchez, Aravena, Osorio

Argentina Team News

While Chile are sitting in last place, Argentina will finish first no matter their last two results. Scaloni’s team only lost three and drew one, the rest of the matches ending in Argentinian victories.

As a result, Scaloni has decided to call up three new players: Mariano Troilo, Kevin Lómonaco, and Franco Mastantuono. Two have already featured with the youth squad and could play their first minutes with the first team against Chile.

The most important news is undoubtedly the return of Argentinian star Lionel Messi, who missed the previous two encounters due to minor injuries. However, young players are likely to play as coach Scaloni is aware that many of his players will dispute the Club World Cup shortly after.

Chile vs Argentina Prediction

• Prediction: Argentina to win 
• Odds: 1.765 (22Bet)
• Score Prediction: Argentina 4-0 Chile

Although Scaloni may rotate his men to accommodate youngsters, a crushing victory is expected for Argentina. They’ve been the best team of the tournament and have regularly scored more than two goals against lower-ranked sides. To add insult to injury, the absence of Díaz forces the home squad to come up with a new backline. 

Scaloni can also count on Messi, who is now available after missing the previous two matches. Fans can expect the visitors to dominate the game and regularly break through the lines, despite Chile being the host.

In their last encounter, Argentina defeated Chile 3-0, thanks to goals from Mac Allister, Dybala and Álvarez.

Chile vs Argentina Betting Tip

• Pick: Julian Álvarez to score
• Odds: 2.6 (22Bet)

Álvarez has regularly stepped up in Messi’s absence and comes from a splendid season with Atlético de Madrid. Despite initial struggles, he’s imposed himself as the team’s most important striker. 

Against Chile, a side lacking defensive solidity, his runs in behind the defence will be key. He can count on Lo Celso and Lionel Messi to feed him chances in the penalty box.
