Chile vs Argentina Prediction 6 June 2025

🔊 Will Argentina secure their fourth consecutive victory, or can Chile bounce back from the bottom? In the 15th round of South American World Cup qualifiers, Chile will host the reigning world champions in Santiago. Most experts predict a confident win for Argentina – but what prediction do we offer? Let's analyze the current form of both teams.

Head-to-Head

📊 In their last ten head-to-head encounters, Chile have managed just one victory, while Argentina have come out on top seven times, with two matches ending in a draw. In the first round of the current qualifying cycle, Argentina thrashed "La Roja" at their home ground, Estadio Monumental, thanks to goals from Mac Allister, Álvarez, and Dybala, securing a 3-0 victory.

Chile Team Overview

🔴 Under the leadership of Ricardo Gareca, "La Roja" are having a surprisingly poor run in the current qualifying campaign. After 14 matches, the Chilean national team find themselves at the bottom of the standings in 10th place, with just 10 points: two wins, four draws, and eight losses.

🔵 In their two spring qualifiers, Chile first fell to Paraguay away (0-1), and then held Ecuador to a goalless draw at home (0-0). The team has scored only 9 goals while conceding 21, ranking second-to-last in both categories among all qualifiers. Despite their dismal position, "La Roja" still have a mathematical chance to fight for seventh place, which would grant them a spot in the playoffs for a World Cup berth. They trail Venezuela, who hold that seventh spot, by 5 points. After facing Argentina, Chile will have matches against Bolivia, Brazil, and Uruguay.

Argentina Team Overview

🔵 The reigning World Cup and Copa America champions continue to assert their dominance, confidently leading the standings with 31 points, holding an eight-point advantage over their nearest rivals. The Albiceleste have secured ten victories, drawn once, and suffered three defeats.

⚪ In the spring phase of the qualifiers, Lionel Scaloni's squad first edged out Uruguay on the road thanks to a goal from Thiago Almada (1-0), and then thrashed Brazil at home (4-1). In that match, Alvarez, Fernandez, Mac Allister, and Simeone found the net. Argentina are on a four-match winning streak, and with upcoming fixtures against Chile, Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador, they are unlikely to relinquish the top spot.

⚽ Goal Prediction

⚽ Goal Prediction

Chile's national team ranks among the weakest in the tournament based on statistical metrics, averaging just 0.6 goals scored per match while conceding 1.5. In contrast, Argentina display a well-rounded performance, scoring an average of 1.8 goals and allowing only 0.6 goals per game.

Given the attacking prowess of "La Albiceleste" and the defensive vulnerabilities of "La Roja," we recommend considering a bet on Argentina to score in the second half. It's anticipated that Chile's defense will start losing focus and physical sharpness midway through the second half, which Argentine forwards are likely to exploit.

🚩 Corner Prediction

Despite a heavy defeat in the first round, the number of corners was evenly matched, with both sides taking four each. On average, throughout the tournament, Chile deliver slightly more corners than Argentina: 4.4 compared to 3.6 per match, respectively.

Considering this statistic, it's worth looking at total corners over 7.5—both teams typically create ample opportunities near the opponent's goal, and the nature of this match promises to be quite intense.

The Chilean national team has struggled to defeat Argentina for several matches, with their last victory dating back to 2016. Comparing the current form of both teams and their standings in the table, it's hard to believe that Chile can break this streak now. Lionel Scaloni's squad boasts an impressive lineup at every position. Considering all these factors, our prediction for the match is a win for Argentina, with a likely scoreline of 0-2.
