Chile vs South Africa prediction
Chile are the only team without a point in Pool G after having been comprehensively beaten 4-1 by England last time out. South Africa drew 1-1 against Japan, their first point of the tournament and now have the chance to finish above Japan by getting the better of them here. The biggest worry from a Chilean perspective is their offense, who have given up consecutive four-goal games.
South Africa should get chances against what is a struggling defence. Provided they stay composed and avoid any unenforced errors, playing with discipline when out of possession then this is the best chance South Africa will get to put a win on the board. Consider backing them to do that.
