Will Argentina extend their lead in the standings?
The world champions from Argentina have made an almost perfect start to the World Cup qualifiers. After six matchdays, the Whites are top of the table with a record of 5-0-1. It is quite possible that the next win will come in the seventh group game against Chile. Our Argentina vs. Chile betting tip is based on this
Not only because Argentina have had the better qualifying phase so far, but also because Chile have disappointed in the World Cup qualifiers. In six group games, “La Roja” have only managed a single victory
The fact that Chile have lost their last two international matches against Argentina makes matters worse. This time, too, it is obvious to bet on a win for the Argentinian national team.

Argentina – Statistics & current form
Argentina won the Copa America a few months ago, their next major title in two years. Previously, “La Albiceleste” had already won the World Cup in 2022 – much to the delight of Lionel Messi, who crowned his impressive career as a footballer with a World Cup title.
At the Copa America, the Argentinian national team beat Colombia in the final. The decision against the surprise team of the CA 2024 only came in extra time. Lautaro Martinez scored in the 112th minute of the game to give the white and blue team the victory.
It was the first time since 1986 that the Argentinian national team had lifted the Copa America trophy. The team of national coach Lionel Scaloni now continues the year in the World Cup qualifiers with a broad chest. Argentina will be aiming for their sixth win in their seventh group game against Chile
Argentina invincible since November 2023
Argentina have not lost any of their last eleven international matches since losing to Uruguay. Nine of those eleven matches were won in regulation time. The Whites have also gone eight matches without conceding a goal. It is quite possible that their defensive qualities will also be underpinned against Chile.
The last time the Argentinian national team faced Chile, they kept a clean sheet anyway. The match in the Copa America 2024 was won 1:0 against the Chileans by national coach Scaloni’s team.
Argentina will be without a number of players for the upcoming match against “La Roja”. In addition to numerous injury concerns, the Whites will also be without the injured Lionel Messi. The Inter Miami striker – 109 goals in 187 appearances – will miss the entire upcoming international break.
Expected Argentina line-up:
Martinez – Molina, Romero, Martinez, Barco – De Paul, Fernandez, Mac Allister – Gonzalez, Martinez, Alvarez
Chile – Statistics & current form
Chile are currently in a form crisis. Before the Copa America 2024, there was still a small upward trend, but the momentum has fizzled out again. The Chileans remained winless in the entire group stage of the Copa America. They also failed to score a single goal.
Disappointing in any case, as there were eight goals to celebrate in the three international matches before the prestigious competition. How Chile’s offense will perform in the World Cup qualifier against the Argentinian national team remains difficult to assess after these recent results.
It is quite possible that the goal drought will continue. Chile have failed to score against Argentina four times in the last eight head-to-head meetings
Will Chile remain winless against Argentina again?
Chile are winless against Argentina since the Copa America 2016 final, which was decided on penalties. In the last seven head-to-heads, “La Roja” have a record of 0-3-4, with one of those two defeats coming this calendar year.
Although there is enough quality in the Chilean squad, the FIFA World No. 43 team has so far lacked a clear game plan. Their record in World Cup qualifying is therefore by no means surprising. Chile have only won against Peru in their six group games to date.
Since then, there have been two defeats and one draw. The Chilean national team failed to score in all three matches. It therefore remains to be seen what changes national team coach Ricardo Gareca will make against Argentina – both tactically and in the starting line-up.
Predicted Chile line-up:
Arias – Isla, Lichnovsky, Maripan, Mena – Nunez, Pulgar, Echeverria – Osorio, Vargas, Brereton Diaz
Argentina – Chile head-to-head comparison / H2H result
The two nations meet for the 95th time. Argentina lead the head-to-head with a record of 61-27-6. The white and blue have dominated, especially in recent encounters against Chile. Argentina have a record of 4-3-0 in their last seven international matches against Chile.
In three of these seven matches, the Argentinian national team have even kept a clean sheet. The last time was in June 2024, when Argentina beat Chile 1-0 in the Copa America 2024
Argentina – Chile betting tip
Argentina are in top form and already lead the table in the South American World Cup qualifiers. The Whites have made an almost perfect start to the qualifying phase and have already won five of their six group games.
Now “La Albiceleste” are aiming for the next victory and will host Chile. “La Roja”, as the Chilean national team is also known, has been hugely disappointing so far, picking up just one win in six group games. Consequently, Chile are the big underdogs in this match
We rule out a surprise in favor of the Chilean guests. Our Argentina vs. Chile betting tip targets “HT/FT: 1/1” at odds of 2.05. We are betting five out of ten possible units
