Argentina are playing for the first time since November after the March qualifiers were cancelled. They’re unbeaten in their four qualifiers so far (W3 D1), only dropping points against Paraguay, but goals have been hard to come by for Lionel Scaloni’s team in the campaign so far. They face a Chile side that have struggled in their qualifiers so far, winning only one of their four games (D1 L2), with a few late goals costing them important points.
