The 2026 World Cup is still 21 months away, but South America’s marathon qualification tournament is well under way. With six teams from the continent set to qualify for the enlarged competition automatically, Argentina are sitting pretty in top spot ahead of matchday seven. They have won five of their six games up to now, conceding only two goals along the way. Chile have work to do. They’re eighth in the 10-team table with just one win in six.

Chile will be pleased to note that Argentina will have to make do without Lionel Messi this time. The Inter Miami star is nursing an injury. Paulo Dybala has earned a recall to Lionel Scaloni’s squad, but Angel Di Maria called time on his international career after the Copa America in the summer.

Chile have a rebuild in front of them. With former stalwarts like Claudio Bravo, Gary Medel, Arturo Vidal and Alexis Sanchez no longer part of the squad, they are attempting to move on from their golden generation. Make sure you don’t miss a moment of the Argentina vs Chile live stream wherever you.
