The pressure is on Argentina here with them starting the game in sixth place with just five points from their opening four games. Sixth place isn't good enough to get the Argentinians to the World Cup finals and that's unthinkable for the former winners. They began their campaign with a shock 2-0 home defeat by Ecuador and then drew their next two games away in Paraguay and home to Brazil (after taking a first half lead). They managed their only win so far with a 1-0 win in Colombia. A loss here really would put them in danger though there's a long way to go in this group. Chile are in fifth place and that would take them into a play-off for a trip to Russia. They are only behind third placed Brazil on goal difference so they're not doing too bad and a win or draw here would work wonders for them. At home they have beaten Brazil 2-0 and drawn with Colombia 1-1, on their travels they won 4-3 in Peru (after trailing 2-1) and then lost 3-0 in Uruguay. They haven't beaten Argentina since 2008 and lost three of the last four games. Looking at the two sides records I think this will be a tight game and a bet on under 2.5 goals to be scored looks a good one to go for.
