The CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers return this week and one of the highlights of this final round of matches is Argentina’s match against Chile at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires.
The reigning world and South American champions are the clear favorites among the bookmakers and also emerged victorious in the last meeting between these teams. Lautaro Martinez scored a late winner in the 1-0 triumph in the group stage of the Copa America.
Lionel Scaloni’s side sit comfortably at the top of the CONMEBOL rankings with five wins from their first six matches, putting them in a strong position to qualify for the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Mexico and Canada. Chile, on the other hand, are struggling to make it to the expanded finals with just five points from six games. Only Bolivia and Peru are behind them in the ten-team rankings.

Argentina vs. Chile prediction, odds
- Moneyline trend: Argentina (-275)
- Result prediction: Argentina – Chile 2:0
Even without Lionel Messi, Argentina are the logical favourites to beat a struggling Chilean side. With that in mind, it makes sense to add different selections to find more attractive odds.
At BetMGM, Argentina’s odds for a 0-0 win are -105, which is a better option than simply betting on a home win.
It can also be a good idea to bet on a low-scoring game: the Albiceleste have failed to score more than one goal in their last two home games against Chile in World Cup qualifying, and they also failed to do so in their most recent meeting in the Copa America.

Argentina vs Chile best bet
- Choose: Argentina wins, Chile scores no goal
- Opportunities: -105 (BetMGM)
Argentina conceded just one goal in the Copa America – in a 1-1 quarter-final against Ecuador – and won all six of their other matches. Argentina has also won all five of its World Cup qualifying matches so far without allowing their opponents to score a goal.
Chile, on the other hand, scored just three goals in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and didn’t score a single goal in the Copa America. This seems like an easy selection.
