The upcoming Copa America will loom large over Chile and Paraguay as they look to end their preparations on a high in their last match before the tournament. This international friendly at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Pradanos in Ñuñoa, Chile, on Wednesday will serve as their last chance to address any problems. Chile will play in Group A of the tournament with Argentina, Peru, and Canada, giving them company. There will be some anxious faces in the Chile dugout, as their recent form in the World Cup qualifiers has been disastrous. After six rounds, they find themselves in eighth place and even out of the Inter-Confederation playoff spot. That is a worry for new coach Ricardo Garcea, who has overseen his preparations with a win over Albania and a loss to France in the two friendlies prior to this match.

Paraguay will be seen in Group D of the Copa America competition with Brazil, Colombia, and Costa Rica for company. Much like Chile, it is their poor form in the World Cup qualifiers that will serve as a backdrop. Paraguay are only marginally above Chile in the qualification campaign, sitting seventh after six matchdays with five points and only on a better goal difference. Coach Daniel Garnero will look to usher in a new era, but he will be wary of his team’s poor scoring record. They have failed to score in six of their last seven matches, which reflects in the overall results as well. Paraguay have won just one of their last seven matches, drawing and losing three games each in the process.
