ARG vs CHI Dream11 Prediction: Argentina will be hoping to kick-start their Copa America 2021 campaign with a bang when they take on Chile at the Olympic Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Argentina have been forged into one of the more solid teams in world by Lionel Scaloni, although their offensive output has been questionable at times. Nevertheless, La Albiceleste head into Copa America on the back of a 14-game unbeaten run.
Argentina haven’t won the Copa America since 1993. Incredibly, they have bee runners up in four of the last six matches but they only reached the semi-finals of the 2019 version in Brazil two years ago. Argentina are the better side and have the better players but Chile’s team-orientated culture and tactical approach has seen them have successful Copa America’s. A 1-1 draw a week or so ago in the qualification for next year’s World Cup seems a very strong indication for what this match might be. Argentina will be slight favourites and a vote in their favour would be the more sensible option.
Date: 15 June, Tuesday Time: 2:30 AM (IST) Venue: Estadio Nilton Santos, Rio de Janeiro
