Moneyline: Chile +600 (bet $100 to win $600) | Argentina -230 (bet $230 to win $100) | Draw +340 (bet $100 to win $340) Over/Under: 2.5 (O: -102 | U: -118)

Chile vs. Argentina picks and predictions Prediction Argentina 1, Chile 1

Moneyline (ML) BET DRAW (+340).

While it doesn’t sit overly high on the FIFA rankings, Chile has been a solid opponent over the last year. It throttled Albania, which made the Euro 24 tournament, and lost 3-2 to France, ending with as many shots on frame as the 2022 World Cup finalist.

While Argentina didn’t necessarily struggle vs. Canada, it didn’t score until the 2nd half and didn’t capitalize on many of its chances. It hasn’t played many top sides in the last 8 months, having lost 2-0 to Uruguay and having beat Brazil 1-0 in November 2023.

Chile, with an experienced team that’s been playing well, could snag a draw. At this value, it’s worth a play. TAKE DRAW (+340).

Over/Under (O/U) BET UNDER 2.5 (-118).

Argentina has gone Under this total in 6 of its last 9 games and has held its opponents scoreless in 4 of its last 6. It can defend at a high level. Argentina can also score behind its slew of talented strikers, including Messi who is among the best in the world.

While 41 years old, Chilean GK Claudio Bravo has the experience to command his backline well and keep the game close. Chile’s opening game ended 0-0, and it has held its opponent scoreless in 3 of its last 4 matches. Chile has gone Under this total in 5 of its last 9 games.

TAKE UNDER 2.5 (-118).
