After a long international layoff, neighboring nations Argentina and Chile will add another chapter to their rivalry when they meet in the fifth game of CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying.
Unbeaten in its last 11 matches, Argentina has gotten off to a solid start in qualifying with three wins (Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru) and a draw (Paraguay) to put La Albiceleste into second place in the round-robin tournament. However, Argentina has yet to play the traditional South American powers with a visit from a sluggish Chilean side representing its first test.
Chile currently sits in sixth in the CONMEBOL table with only four points after losing to Uruguay and Venezuela.
