Predictions & Betting Tips

Argentina are an unstoppable force

Argentina are the team to beat in South America right now, sitting atop the FIFA World Cup Qualification - CONMEBOL 2023-2025 standings with 31 points from 14 games. Lionel Scaloni has been in charge since August 2018 and has managed to mix the youth with the experience and maintain a tactical flexibility that has served them well in the last two international tournaments. The Chile vs Argentina prediction heavily favors La Albiceleste to win this game at 1.49, with Chile given a 7.6 chance to avoid defeat. The bookmakers have the visitors as the likely winners, but La Roja’s home form suggests this could be a much closer contest. Chile are unbeaten in their three home games, with two wins and a draw giving some hope to fans of the hosts. The Chile vs Argentina preview suggests that Chile have won just two, drawn three and lost two of their seven home qualifiers, averaging 1.14 goals per game in this period.

Scaloni’s side can do enough

The Albiceleste have won their previous two competitive clashes with Chile, who have not registered a home victory over Argentina. Chile sit bottom of the table in tenth with 10 points from their 14 qualifiers, while Argentina have won 4, drawn 1, and lost 2 of their 7 away games in the group, averaging 1.43 goals for and 0.71 against. Lionel Messi leads Argentina from the front and has already found the net six times in nine qualifiers, continuing his relentless goal-scoring form for his country. Lautaro Martinez is a clinical finisher and always seems to pop up when his team needs it most, as he did when scoring a winner against Chile in Copa America 2024. Scaloni’s team are a dominant force, showing their class by beating Uruguay away from home (0-1) and thumping Brazil at home (4-1) in their two most recent games. Chile will look to sit deep and try to disrupt Argentina’s build-up, but their counter-attacks could be limited by the visitors’ control of possession. According to this Chile vs Argentina prediction, Argentina’s superior quality should see them edge out Chile, but La Roja’s home form and stubbornness may well make this a tough game. Chile boss Ricardo Gareca has shown the ability to make his side tough to beat, even against superior opponents, and it could be an exciting game. Among the best Chile vs Argentina betting tips is that under 2.5 goals could be the best play for this game.
