Chile headed to the Confederations Cup in Russia as one of the firm favorites in the contention for the title despite just making their first appearance and they have somewhat lived to the billing, ahead of their final Group B game against Australia on Sunday 25th June. Chile should have sealed passage to the second round by now but they dropped their guard after taking an early lead against Germany in the second game on Thursday 22nd June and will thus be taking extra caution against the Asian champions who almost shocked Germany in the opening game before coming from behind to draw with African champions Cameroon in the second game. Heading to this clash, Chile have two wins, two draws and a loss in their last five matches in which they have scored nine goals and conceded five. They have lost just twice in their last 12 matches and thus head to the game as firm favorites. Australia on the other hand, know they shouldn’t register anything short of a win in this game, to actualize their chances of advancing to the next stage. With one point from two matches, they will want to seriously improve on the performance of their past few matches. The last five matches for the Socceroos have yielded two wins, two losses and a draw where they have scored eight and conceded 10. They have won just three of their last 10 matches and will be looking to get that record behind them be beating the Copa America champions. Head to head, this will be the third meeting between the nations in history; both previous meetings have been in the FIFA World Cup where Chile won 3 – 1 in 2014 and they drew 0 – 0 in 1974.
