World Cup Qualifiers, Friday, 06.09.2024 at 02:00 PM
This Argentina Chile betting tip for matchday 7 of the continental CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers could bring you a nice win with a bit of luck.
Because in my Argentina Chile prediction, I combine two individual tips from my trusted digital betting office, which statistically rarely disappoint in international matches of the “Albiceleste”
Argentina are currently in absolute top form. The “Albiceleste” have won the Copa América twice in a row and have also been crowned world champions in between.
This undoubtedly makes the team one of the best soccer nations of all time. With five wins from six games in World Cup qualifying, they are also almost certainly through.
For Chile, on the other hand, things are getting tight. Although “La Roja” ensured that Chile became an established soccer nation, the golden generation has aged considerably in the meantime. As a result, coach Ricardo Gareca’s team are currently outside the qualification zone for the upcoming World Cup. With just five points from six games, they urgently need to catch up.
Nevertheless, you should not underestimate Chile’s fighting attitude. Surprises are possible, especially in games against big teams like Argentina.
In the most recent edition of the Copa América, for example, the Argentinians only scored a last-minute goal from Lázaro Martínez in the 88th minute to make it 1-0 against their upcoming opponents
Another important factor: Argentina have not lost in their last eleven international matches, including extra time, and have always won.
That means a tough challenge for Chile. With the death of Argentine soccer legend Humberto Maschio, who will be commemorated at the upcoming match, Argentina could be additionally motivated to continue this winning streak.
As you can see, the circumstances tend to favor the “Albiceleste”, even if Lionel Messi and the now retired Ángel Di María will not be involved this time
In the betting markets, Argentina is the clear favorite. With odds of 1.35, the bookmakers give the “Gauchos” a probability of success of around 74%.
A draw is priced at 4.50, which means a probability of around 22%. It would be a bolder choice, but could be worthwhile if you are betting on a surprise. However, this option remains riskier.
The Argentina Chile betting odds therefore see the visitors as clear underdogs. With odds of 9.00, the chances of them winning at the Estadio Monumental in Bueno Aires are only around 11%
If you want to bet on a low final score, the “Under 2.5 goals” bet could be interesting for you.
Without the injured Messi and Di Maria, the match might not provide quite as much attacking soccer for the spectators, which was already the case in the aforementioned Copa America duel in June. In any case, the odds of 1.90 make this bet a solid option.
For an even bolder bet, you could also consider “Chile won’t score”. After all, Argentina have only conceded one goal in their last eight international matches
By the way, take a look at Lázaro Martínez. The agile Inter Milan striker scored at least one goal in four of his six appearances at the Copa América 2024.
If you want to bet on the Argentine attacker, a bet on him to score could also be worthwhile. In any case, Martinez’s form suggests that he will continue to pose a threat to any defense, no matter how tightly meshed. Especially now that Messi is out and Di Maria has retired
By the way: In the direct comparison between Argentina and Chile, there have never been more than 3.5 goals in the last ten duels. This shows that the matches are generally quite low-scoring.
Chile have never managed to win in this period, not even in extra time. With four draws and six defeats, their record looks pretty dismal.
This suggests that Argentina will have the upper hand in most cases and that the visitors should find it difficult to take anything worthwhile with them on Friday despite their precarious position in the table.
My final prediction is: DC 1X & Under 2.5 goals. Even though my Argentina Chile prediction points to a slight advantage for the hosts, Chile could still hold a 0-0 score over 90 minutes with a bit of luck.
The Argentinians will need some time to settle without Messi and Di Maria, but a home defeat in the familiar Estadio Monumental would be hard to imagine, even in the worst-case scenario.
The playing strength of the “Albiceleste” should ultimately be enough to secure at least a draw, while the game as a whole should remain low-scoring.
My tip: Double chance 1X & under 3.5 goals
