Argentina vs Chile Match Preview 03 June 2021

The World Cup race goes on!

Tonight we are going to witness the fifth round from the World Cup qualifications of South America. The highly competitive countries always bring lots of excitement to the stadiums and also around it. So far Brasil has the best score, 4 wins out of 4 games, but their nemesis - Argentina - is breathing in their necks in 2nd place with 10 points.

Out of 10 countries, only 4 national teams will enter the World Cup directly, and the 5th is going to the playoffs. At the moment Uruguay is placed in the 5th spot on the table, but Chile and Columbia are right after them, so the uncertainty is very high at the moment for the rest of the qualification race.

The expectations for the national team of Argentina are always big and with a reason. The White and Sky Blues have great talent, huge stars that play in huge football clubs. One of them, of course, is probably the best player that ever played the game, Lionel Messi. So there is never an excuse if they don’t reach the latter stages of any competition, or even win them. So tonight Lionel Scaloni must go ahead for the 3 points and get closer to the top of the table in South America’s qualification competition.

Chile, on the other hand, even if they manage to reach the 2022 World Cup is going to be a great success. But the task won't be easy, so Martín Lasarte will look to motivate his players for tonight's match. Also, he needs to find the right formation and play the right players to stop the contain Argentina’s strong forward line. Chile played one match this year against the national team of Bolivia and won the game 2:1. So that game must be a good example for the Chileans to bring a good football fight into tonight’s match as well and try to end up with some extra points on their behalf.

So turn your screen on and see this interesting match from probably the most football-fanatic continent, South America.
