Chile vs Argentina Prediction
The Chileans have given themselves an outside chance of a top seven finish in CONMEBOL qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with one defeat in their last four matches. However, their ageing squad and a lack of youth development has brought about a situation where they are now rock-bottom in South America’s ten-team qualifying table.
They face the reigning double South American champions, as well as world champions, Argentina, who will be looking to make it four successive major tournament victories next summer. Lionel Scaloni is still without Lionel Messi as he prepares for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup with Inter Miami but it remains a very strong Argentinian squad.
Argentina have been excellent and their last outing, a 4-1 demolition of Brazil, showcased the gulf between themselves and the rest of South America with an away win to be expected in Chile.
