Chile vs Argentina: Prediction and Betting Tips 28/01/22

European football is on vacation, & we must go back to the African Cup of Nations and the matches of the South American zone of the World Cup qualification round.

A very interesting game is expected in the upcoming round: Chile – Argentina. A principled confrontation, which always stands out with its rough episodes and numerous yellow cards.

The Argentine national team secured a ticket to the World Cup ahead of schedule, that’s why this match has no significance for the Argentines from the tournament point of view.

Chile is in 6th place, and in order to win a direct ticket, you need to appear in the top four. The 5th place team will have to hold playoff matches, but at the moment Chile and Uruguay are not among the top 5 teams, and without these teams, it is very difficult to imagine the World Cup.

I think Chile will be super motivated, so they are the favorites of this confrontation. Argentina does not have Messi, who has just recovered. “Inter” striker Joaquin Correa is injured and will not participate in the match either.

It will be difficult for the Argentine team to win and to score a lot of goals. The last 3 matches between these teams ended either in a goalless draw or with a score of 1-1. I suppose this game can be the same, or the Chileans will win with the lowest score.

So I think Chile will not lose this match and under 3.5 total goals for this confrontation looks like a good option.

Chile win or draw and under 3.5 goals – 1.75
