Chile vs Argentina LIVE: Stream, TV channel, score, teams – World Cup 2022 qualifying latest
ARGENTINA head to Chile having booked their place in the World Cup.
And that means they can afford to rest Lionel Messi, who is continuing his recovery from Covid.
Opponents Chile have a recent history of riling up the Argentines, winning both the 2015 and 2016 Copa America finals against them.
And their need for points is far greater than the Albiceleste's, as they sit in sixth position, outside the qualifying places.

Cracking game.
End to end stuff at times with Chile giving the Argentines a real game.
On another day, had they taken their chances, 'La Roja' will feel they could have got something out of this game today.
Angel Di Maria, like a fine wine, gets better with age.
