Chile vs. Argentina – Preview and Predictions

On Thursday, January 27th, we dive into the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers to see the match between 2nd placed Argentina and 6th placed Chile.

Argentina is easily holding second place, no matter the outcome, as Chile is eager to get a win and jump ahead and get the 4rth or 5th spot on the scoreboard.

This match will be played at the Estadio Zorros del Desierto in Calama, Chile at 07:15 pm E.T. and broadcasted by Paramount+ and ESPN Play.

Why Bet on Chile?

The Chilean national team is a constant participant in world championships. 

Only once in recent history, the Reds missed out on the global tournament. 

The Chileans managed to win just one match out of the opening ten in qualifying for the FIFA World Cup 2022, so they risked missing out on a second successive major tournament. 

Fortunately, however, gradually Martin Lasarte’s wards began to rectify the situation, alternately defeating Paraguay – 2:0, Venezuela – 3:0, and then Paraguay – 1:0. 

The last game was a 0:1 defeat by Ecuador, but now the Chilean national team has climbed to the sixth position in the standings, only one point behind the top five.

Why Bet on Argentina?

The Argentinian national team has had great times. 

They finally managed to win America’s Cup and have secured their entry to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. 

At the same time, the White and Sky Blues continue to produce excellent results. 

They have not suffered a single defeat in their 13 qualifying matches so far, which is commendable in itself, with eight successes and five draws. 

Lionel Scaloni has not called up his namesake from PSG for the upcoming games, but the squad looks very potent without him.

Betting line: 

Chile: +147

Argentina: +190

Draw: +205

The Argentine national team is a bad dream for the Chileans.

The 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers are coming to a close, so the points are especially important now. 

The Chileans, who are currently sitting in sixth place in the standings, risk missing out on a trip to Qatar. 

That is why it is not worth expecting the Reds to play attacking football even at home – it is more important to cling to points. 

In Argentina, the emphasis is on defense so they won’t be rushing anywhere.

As a low-pressure game, we have our betting token on a Draw, expecting an easily capable Argentina to keep things going slow for most of the match.

Our Pick for Chile vs. Argentina – World Cup Qualifier: DRAW
