Argentina returns to competitive action on Friday with a top clash against Chile in the South American edition of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. Going into this game, Argentina are placed second in the standings with 10 points, two behind Brazil, while Chile are sixth with four points from four matches. With an incredible amount of talent to choose from here, Argentina should be able to see off Chile, who are clearly struggling in these qualifiers. Argentina are also unbeaten in their last 11 matches and though coming back to action since November 2020, they aren’t expected to struggle to find their footing. Their last game ended in a 2-0 win over Peru, the third time in five matches that they managed more than a goal, and they’ve gone without scoring in just one of their last 10 matches.

Chile have managed just one win in their four qualification matches and are sitting two places below the automatic qualification process. Four points behind Argentina, and having already lost twice in the qualifiers leaves Chile as underdogs and it won’t be kind on them, the news that Arturo Vidal will miss this game due to a positive Covid-19 test. In their last six competitive matches, Chile have managed just one win – against Peru – and they lost four of the six. Four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals, with Chile scoring twice in three of them, but also conceding twice in three.
