Argentina vs Chile
Two of the strongest sides in world football will collide to better their chances of booking a spot to Russia, so you can be sure that live betting fans will place their bets and watch this game closely.
If we look at their latest forays, it’s easy to bet online for the Chileans (+1.00 @ 2.00 are very good odds to punt for). However, it’s important to remember that any team with a Lionel Messi running the show is a legitimate threat that must be taken seriously.
The Albiceleste have Angel Di Maria, Paulo Dybala, Nicolas Otamendi and Sergio Aguero among a roster of impressive players who have found success in Europe, so it’s not hard to imagine them fielding a strong side to take care of Chile at home.
However, La Roja have more than enough firepower to answer whatever Argentina throw their way. Led by a deadly Alexis Sanchez, the Chile squad has Claudio Bravo, Arturo Vidal and Mauricio Isla in their ranks.
The visitors also have the psychological advantage over their opponents: their last game was the Copa America final, a match they won in penalties. Messi was shattered by the loss that he declared his retirement from international duty for a while.
The current media blackout surrounding Argentina’s team is also a source of concern. It’s no secret that the players and the men in suits are feuding over how the national team is run, and it’s highly possible that this could affect their on-pitch performance.
As I said earlier, this game is an easy punt for the Chileans. However, Messi’s stellar form in Barca may carry over to the national side and help them advance to fourth. If you have faith in Messi’s magic, then Argentina -1.00 @ 1.92 is the way to go.
