TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Chile are one of the continents most exciting side and play fluid, attacking football. Able to change formations at the drop of a hat and comfortable in any of them the team can be a joy to behold. For the upcoming clash with leaders Argentina though La Roja are in big trouble. With an amazing 8 players out injured or suspended they are down to the bare bones. With a host of class players unavailable for selection after falling out with Borghi the coach the team is in dissarray. Keeper Claudio Bravo is injured and second best Johnny Herrera is on the coach's black list. In defence out go Jose Rojas, Pablo Contreras, Osvaldo Gonzalez and Waldo Ponce. Eugenio Mena and Charles Aranguez are injured and Arturo Vidal is suspended after a red card for a wild elbowing incident. Jorge Valdivida is out long term injury and is one of the best Chilean players of current times. Upfront Humberto Suazo and Claudio Pinilla sit out with injuries to complete the sorry picture. To cap it all and to show some solidarity with his suspended players madcap coach Claudio Borghi got himself sent off in the Venezuela loss and will sit in the stands with the rest of his beleagured team.
Argentina will go into this game with confidence after another high class performance. They oozed class in the 3-0 destruction of Uruguay and will be looking to almost seal qualification with a win against one of their close rivals. Messi, Aguero and Higuian were the key men in the victory in Mendoza. All three players where buzzing up top, assisted by Di Maria and with Mascherano and Gago anchoring this looks a quality line up. Sabella has clicked with a a system which gets the best from Messi. With a rock solid back line this team could go all the way.

CHILE - ARGENTINA: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

1.82 Argentina (Pinnacle)is the selection in this game. With the sheer abundance of injuries and suspensions affecting all areas of the Chile side Argentina simply must be backed to win here in Santiago. The home side are in all sorts of bother, a full strength Chile side would have their hands full with Messi and co but this patched up side will have little chance of stemming the tide.

CHILE - ARGENTINA :ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Argentina is the pick here -1 at 2.53(Pinnacle) An Argentine win looks more and more likely and with such dramatic team news Chile are in a terrible position. At home they would be expected to have a right go at Argentina but a patched up side will struggle here. Argentina like to dictate the game and they will have the majority of possession now. A second choice Chile side could be overrun by the lively Argentina attack. I can see goals here for sure and a few Argentina for sure.

CHILE - ARGENTINA:TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Over 2.50 1.78 (188bet) is the bet here. Overs is usually the shout were Chile are but this is even more so now we are dealing with an understrength side. Argentina will be attacking from the onset and are capable of covering the handicap here such is the decimation of the Chilean side. Chile will have a go themselves and one plus point for them will be the players will be able to fit into the coach's formation whatever that may be. They will attack Argentina and leave gaps, they have to here as they simply cannot afford any more home losses. Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero and Gonzalo Higuain are simply amazing upfront and Chile are in for a torrid time. Of the two teams last 10 matches 7 have gone over 2.50, with both sides averaging 3 or more goals per game in the qualifying section to date overs looks a cracking bet.
