Analysis and prediction for the match of the 7th day of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers Argentina – Chile (06/09/2024)
The reigning world champions will continue to qualify for the next World Cup. Argentina will face Chile on September 6. The match will start at 3:00 Moscow time. While the Albiceleste lead the table, the Chileans are lagging behind in the qualification zone.
The blue and whites are ready to delight their fans again, taking to the field for the first time since they won the Copa America in July. Let us remember that the Argentine national team beat Colombia in the final by 1-0. But this only goal was scored in extra time. Lautaro Martínez did the best he could.
The second noise in the world was serious:
Emma Navarro – Arina Sabalenka. The Belarusian deserves the US Open final
Lionel Scaloni has already led the Argentines to three trophies. And an excellent start in the qualification for the 2026 World Cup does not go unnoticed. A team of this level should easily pass the selection stage. The head coach is coping with this.
Argentina is two points ahead of Uruguay. They have won five out of six matches. The Albiceleste suffered their only defeat in the match against the Uruguayans, 0-2. But they will still have the chance to take revenge. By the way, this is the only time that Scaloni’s team was left out of the selection. They defeated all other opponents in a dry manner.
The Blanquiazules will be without the legendary Lionel Messi. He is still recovering from an injury sustained in the Copa America final. Angel Di Maria will not be there, he has retired from the national team. Defenders Nicolas Tagliafico and Leonardo Balerdi are in hospital. Replacing the defensive players will be more difficult, but there is no doubt that Scaloni will be able to handle it.
But in attack there should be no problem. You can use Nicolás González, you can always count on Julián Álvarez or the top scorer of the 2024 Copa América, Lautaro Martínez.
The Chilean national team last participated in the World Cup in 2014. Since then, they have had no luck. It would seem that it is time to improve their results, but in the next World Cup qualification, the “red team” is once again outside the top seven.
They expect Cristiano’s best game:
Portugal – Croatia. Ronaldo is rehabilitating for the Euros
The Chileans got their only victory in the match against Peru by 2-0. There were also draws with Colombia and Paraguay. Ricardo Garec’s team lost to Venezuela (0-3) and Ecuador (0-1).
Even at the Copa America, the Chilean national team showed a regression. Remember that in 2016 they won the trophy, and in the last draw they did not even manage to get past the group stage, gaining only two points in three matches. Thanks to goalless draws in matches with Peru and Canada.
But all these failures were with the “red team” without Ricardo Garec. Now the Argentine coach must reverse the fortunes and improve the situation of the Chilean team. Here’s how it’s done: when Claudio Bravo retired from the national team, Alexis Sánchez and Diego Valdez left due to injuries. Let’s see what team we will see on the field.
In any case, it is hard to believe that Argentina can lose at the stadium in Chile. Perhaps Ricardo Gareca will do something unusual with the “red team”, teach them to cling to results, but later. So far, even without Messi, the white and blues are not looking any worse. But the games of the South American teams almost always have few goals. This is their type of football. Let’s bet on Argentina winning and the total being less than 3.5 goals to 1.95.
Tender: Argentina wins and the total is less than 3.5 goals by 1.95.
Spain is the favorite:
Serbia-Spain. Luis de la Fuente will begin his title defence
