The hosts have gone two games without a win, thanks to the 1-1 draw with Colombia and a 3-0 defeat to Uruguay on November 17, 2015 at the Estadio Centenario in Uruguay. As they welcome Argentina, all eyes will be on the instrumental Alexis Sanchez, who is expected to lead the hunt for goals for La Roja. The Arsenal forward has scored five goals in his last five matches for his country in all competitions.
On the other hand, after holding Chile to a one-all draw, Colombia failed to register good results against Argentina. They went down 1-0 thanks to Lucas Biglia’s effort in front of goal. As Argentina visit Chile, all eyes will be on five-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi alongside Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero and Paris Saint-Germain’s Angel Di Maria. The Barcelona star missed the first four opening matches of the competition and will be hoping to announce his presence with an impressive performance that will guarantee nothing less than a win for La Albiceleste.
Chile will be buoyed by the home ground advantage and the fact that the visitors have been struggling lately in the qualifiers. They lost 0-2 to Ecuador in the opening match, drew with Paraguay in the second match, and then drew once again with Brazil in the third fixture. Their only victory came against Colombia, and it was a slim 1-0 win for that matter.
With both teams fighting for a place in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, this promises to be a mouth-watering encounter. But although it may be difficult to predict the ultimate winner at the end of regular time, South American teams are well-known for their high-scoring capabilities. Hence, over 2.5 could be the most-likely option for betting enthusiasts.
