USA vs Chile: team news and expert analysis
The Americans were among the organizers of the World Cup. They performed quite successfully there, collecting six points in the group stage and advancing to the playoffs past Bosnia. However, they became embroiled in a scandal after Balogun's "red card" was overturned. Even with Falorin, though, they went on to lose 4-1 to Belgium in the round of 16. Now, in a friendly against Peru, they opened the current international window with a confident 4-1 victory.
Chile once again failed in qualifying, missing out on yet another World Cup. This time, they collected just eleven points and finished bottom of the group! However, they have enjoyed some success in friendly matches, beating DR Congo in this format before the tournament. Against Canada, they responded to the opponent's early goal only with physicality. There were even two red cards in a friendly!
The United States score an average of 2.1 goals per game while also conceding plenty — two per match. The Latin Americans score 1.2 goals but concede 1.6.
