Chilean fans are likely feeling disheartened as their team has only secured one point from the last 33 available, highlighting a period of notably poor performance. On the other side, Argentina has been performing well, securing nine victories out of 14 recent home games at this level, excluding playoffs. Therefore, Argentina is likely looking forward to adding another win.
Historically, matches between Argentina and Chile have not been high-scoring affairs, with the last two playoff encounters each yielding fewer than 2.5 goals. This pattern extends to Argentina’s recent seven games and Chile’s last ten away games, where scoring has been similarly subdued.
Goal-sharing has been rare in Argentina’s recent home games, with only four out of the last 20 matches seeing both teams score. Similarly, in Chile’s current season, both teams have scored in only two out of ten away games, suggesting little change is likely in their upcoming encounter.
Argentina’s recent home games have not been particularly thrilling, with 16 of the last 18, including the most recent 11, featuring two or fewer goals. Chile’s away games mirror this trend, with 16 of their last 18 also producing fewer than 2.5 goals.
Prediction: Argentina 1 : 0 Chile
