Our Prediction for the Argentina vs. Chile Match
Under the current management of Scaloni, "La Albiceleste" has improved their reputation from a strong yet unlucky team. Initially, they secured their first major trophy of this generation, the Copa America. Later, in Qatar, Messi and the team finally became World Cup champions! Chile, on the other hand, missed out on both the last and the previous World Cups, struggling in the qualifiers.
In the current World Cup qualifiers, Argentina has started confidently. Despite a home defeat to Bielsa's Uruguay, they have won all other matches and lead the standings. Alexis Sánchez and his teammates continue to falter, with only one win against Peru and a meager five points from six matches, placing them among the bottom teams.
This year, Chile is under the guidance of the experienced Ricardo Gareca. While the team performed well in friendly matches (a couple of wins and a loss to France), their performance in the Copa America included goalless draws with Peru and Canada and a 0-1 loss to Argentina. Messi and the team reached the final, where Lautaro Martínez scored the only goal against Colombia in the 112th minute. Messi lifted the trophy, but he will miss this match due to yet another injury.
