Chile still has a hope of reaching the World Cup playoff spot. With 12 points left up for grabs and a four-point gap to seventh-place Venezuela, the Chilean squad has no choice but to beat the top team in these qualifiers for the upcoming World Cup in the United States: Argentina.
Another loss, and the idea of starting a new cycle may start to creep into the mind of the team’s top decision-maker.
This match will take place in Santiago, where tensions are expected to be high.
With the reigning world champions already qualified, this matchup could feel lopsided on the pitch, but it still promises fireworks.

Chile - Argentina: Form Analysis
After showing signs of life at the end of 2024 with a win over Venezuela, Chile has fallen back into bad habits. In March, La Roja suffered a loss to Paraguay and managed only a single point against Ecuador after 90 minutes. It’s a poor run of form for Ricardo Gareca’s squad, especially considering they didn’t score a single goal over those two matches.
It’s hard to approach this next clash with much optimism, especially after the first meeting ended in a 3-0 blowout loss on Argentine soil.
Argentina, meanwhile, is on a completely different trajectory. Lionel Scaloni’s men notched their fourth straight win on March 26, dominating Brazil 4-1 in a marquee showdown that saw them race out to a 3-1 lead by halftime.
In this kind of form, the Albiceleste could very well make quick work of a Chilean side that looks seriously outmatched.

Chile & Argentina Squad Analysis
Chile’s new generation has yet to recapture the glory of the Alexis Sánchez–Arturo Vidal era. While Vidal is still around, along with Eduardo Vargas, their impact just isn’t what it used to be. Back in the day, the Udinese winger could change a game on his own. Today, the Osorio-Contreras duo is a far cry from that level, which helps explain Chile’s lack of efficiency in the final third.
Even with a solid backline led by Maripán, it’s hard to win matches without putting the ball in the net.
Argentina, on the other hand, is overflowing with talent. Most of the players who helped dismantle Brazil are expected to feature again in Thursday night’s clash. The midfield trio of Mac Allister, Enzo Fernández, and Paredes offers a strong balance of creativity and control, with Paredes anchoring the setup as a dependable No. 6.
And with Lionel Messi and Lautaro Martínez back in the lineup, the Albiceleste’s firepower could overwhelm Chile’s defense. From the opening whistle, the world champions’ superiority is likely to be clear.

Argentina is expected to come out on top in this matchup on Chilean soil, and for good reason. The two sides are separated by 21 points heading into this clash. On top of that, the greatest player in the nation’s history is back with the squad after missing the March international window.
