The CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers continue this week with what is sure to be an interesting game on Friday 6th September 2024 between World Cup holders Argentina and Chile.
These two nations have faced off 96 times in their histories.
Argentina have a massive advantage over Chile having won 63 of those matches to Chile’s 8 wins. There have also been 25 draws in that time.
The hosts are also unbeaten in their last 7 games against Chile having not lost since June 2016. Will the same happen here?
Argentina announced multiple big players wouldn’t be available due to injury. Nicolas Tagliafico and Leonardo Balerdi are both missing however the biggest has to be the absence of Lionel Messi with an ankle injury.
Chile also have big hitters missing with Claudio Bravo officially retired from International football as well as Alexis Sanchez and Diego Valdes both missing through injury. Shockingly Artauro Vidal, Gary Medel and Francisco Sierralta are all also unavailable after their omissions from the squad.
Argentina - Emiliano Martinez, Nahuel Molina, Christian Romero, Lisandro Martinez, Valentin Barco, Rodrigo De Paul, Enzo Fernandez, Alexis Mac Allister, Nicolas Gonzalez, Lautauro Martinez, Julian Alvarez
Chile - Gabriel Arias, Mauricio Isla, Igor Lichnovsky, Guillermo Maripan, Eugenio Mena, Marcelino Nunez, Erick Pulgar, Rodrigo Echeverria, Dario Osorio, Eduardo Vargas, Ben Brereton Diaz
Martinez has so often been a crucial player for Argentina when he plays in net for them and we expect the same in this game.
Considering Argentina has kept 7 clean sheets in their last 10 games this should come as no surprise.
If he can maintain this level he is sure to have a top performance in this game.
This game on the surface seems as though it could be close however with Argentina’s incredible form and Chile’s struggles in recent games we would expect on the pitch this will be a fairly easy task for the hosts.
That is why we are backing Argentina To Win To Nil in this game. And with odds of 1/1, £10 has the potential to return £20 making it our best value tip for this game.
This game is set to kick off on Friday 6th September 2024 at 1:00 am in the UK. And in the UK you can catch all of the action with a subscription to Premier Sports on Premier Sports 1.
