Argentina won a second successive Copa America title in July courtesy of defeating Colombia 1-0 in the final in USA. Lionel Scaloni's men are on a 11-game winning run across all competitions and their last defeat came against Uruguay in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifier back in November last year.
La Albiceleste won the Copa America for a 16th time, making them the most successful side in the history of the competition. Scaloni's side scored nine goals and kept five clean sheets from six games en route to their third consecutive major international title.
Chile, on the other hand, are aiming to return to the World Cup for the first time since 2014. The 2016 Copa America winner's haven't made the ideal start to CONMEBOL WC qualifying, losing three, drawing two and wining just one of their first six games. La Roja crashed out in the group stage of the recent Copa America, having recorded two draws and a defeat from three matches.
