Analysis
The hosts come into this fixture with a new manager Francisco Arce, who replaced Ramon Diaz on the August 1 after a poor showing at the Copa America Centenario in the USA. His men finished last in Group A behind the hosts, Colombia and Costa Rica.
Arce’s men will be looking for their first win in their last six fixtures. Out of their last six competitive games, they have lost thrice and drawn thrice, a situation that makes them the underdogs ahead of today’s fixture.
On the other hand, Chile have lost only one of their last six fixtures, drawn one, and won four. The Chileans also have a new coach – Juan Antonio Pizzi, who replaced the title-winning Jorge Sampaoli who resigned last January to focus on managing La Liga side Sevilla.
Pizzi enjoyed instant success with La Roja, having won the Copa America Centenario after beating Argentina in the finals. This match presents an epic tactical battle between the two master tacticians. But with the likes of Arturo Vidal, Eduardo Vargas, Gary Medel and Alexis Sanchez on Chile’s side, they are the favorites to get a win on foreign soil.
