Uruguay fell to Argentina 1-0 in the Clasico del Rio de la Plata last Friday. As a result, La Celeste finds themselves in fourth place in the Copa America Group A, with zero points and a goal against after one game.
On the other hand, Chile is yet to lose a game after a 1-0 win against Bolivia and a one-all draw against Argentina last week. La Roja's forward Eduardo Vargas scored from the spot against Argentina to secure one point, and new-boy Ben Brereton scored the game-winner against Bolivia in his first-ever start for Chile.
Despite a good start to their Copa America run, the Chileans have been under criticism for breaking COVID-19 protocols. According to the Associated Press, the Chilean soccer federation issued a statement on Sunday saying that a barber entered Chile's bubble and made contact with two players. Moreover, Chilean media outlets reported that midfielder Arturo Vidal and defender Gary Medel were the two players in question. As a result, Chile was fined a mere $15,000 for the violation.
The two South American sides will clash at Arena Pantanal in Cuiaba, Brazil, on Monday, June 21, at 5 p.m. ET.
