Argentina vs Chile Prediction & Betting tips
Argentina and Chile meet at the Corinthians Arena, in São Paulo, in a game for the 3rd and 4th place of the Copa América. The history of clashes between the two countries is long, however, we can analyze the most recent record. In the last 10 games, in several competitions, Argentina has a great advantage, for having added 6 wins, 3 draws and only 1 loss.
Argentina:
Argentina confirmed what all the fans anticipated, that is, the elimination. Throughout the tournament, the Argentines failed to show all their qualities and added some negative results, such as the defeat against Colombia and even the draw with Paraguay. In the semi-final Argentina lost 2-0 with host Brazil. The only victories in the competition were against Qatar and Venezuela.
After the elimination of the final, the Argentines have to fight for the 3rd place. With that objective on the horizon, they are expected to act in a more offensive way. Therefore, coach Lionel Scaloni must keep the team in 4-4-2, with Agüero and Lautaro Martínez on the attack front. However, Argentina‘s attacks depend a lot on the star Lionel Messi, a very skilled player with the ball on his feet. The main weaknesses of this team usually appear in the defensive sector. For this game the coach can count on the usual players.
Chile:
Chile was the great surprise of the semifinal of the Copa América, having lost with Peru by 0-3. In this way, the Chileans lost the opportunity to add another title of this competition, since they had won the last two editions. Curiously, Chile won those titles precisely against Argentina. The performance of the Chileans has fallen a lot, since they have not won in three consecutive games, this at the end of the 90 ‘.
Despite the disastrous performance in the last game, coach Reinaldo Rueda must keep the team in 4-3-3, with Aléxis Sánchez, Fuenzalida and Eduardo Vargas as the most advanced men. The strategy for this game is already more than defined, that is, it will benefit the defensive organization and the counterattacks, exploring in the best way the space in the back of the Argentine defense. Aléxis Sánchez and Eduardo Vargas are the best gunners, with 2 goals each. All equipment is available for this game.
