It’s time to start thinking about the upcoming World Cup, and we dive back to watch as the teams continue to fight for their qualification in CONMEBOL.
Coming from being the best national team in the world recently, Argentina prepares for another challenge against the always tricky Chile, which wants to be a competitive team again.
The Albiceleste’s last memory was their great triumph in the Copa América final.
Meanwhile, La Roja failed to meet the expectations in the cup, getting out in the group phase.

Why Bet on Argentina?
The locals lead the pack with 15 points thanks to their five wins and a single loss. The team wants to ensure its leadership in the qualifiers for the next World Cup, where it will be the defending champion, so these kinds of games are a must-win.
Buoyed by the triumph at the 2024 Copa America, Argentina will look to give fans another reason to celebrate after a short break from international duty that included the Olympics and the European season openers.
La Albiceleste’s major setback is the absence of Leo Messi due to the injury sustained in the Copa América final. His position on the pitch can be occupied by the likes of Dybala, Julian Alvares, Enzo MartÃnez, Alexis MacAllister, and more, so Scaloni has plenty of options to choose from.
Inter’s ace Lautaro Martinez is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts.
Why Bet on Chile?
Chile is placed 8th on the board, and they have not been doing too well with a single win, two draws, and three losses. The offensive and defensive balances are pretty poor, as they have only scored three goals and took seven.
La Roja recorded only one win in the process, with the team beating Peru at home. They are not regarded as good travellers and it is hard to believe they can spoil Argentina’s party at Estadio Monumental.
To make things worse for the away team, Diego Valdes and Alexis Sanchez are out of contention with injuries.
Chile failed to offer any real goal threat in the USA this summer, and it’s hard to see them causing problems against such a disciplined Argentina defense.Â
Final Betting Analysis: Argentina vs. Chile
Being clear with our prediction, everything suggests that the home team will win again, having also defeated Chile 1-0 at Copa America 2024.
Chile hasn’t “defeated” Argentina since winning the final of Copa America 2016 on penalties, which makes this clash, especially as we look into their recent form, a problem for the away team.
As much as we’d want this duel to be competitive for everyone’s entertainment, we believe that even without Leo, Argentina should be able to take a clear win. We’ll go for a 2-0.
Go for a victory for the locals at 1.36. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $36 for a total payout of $136.
