Chile vs Argentina Head-to-Head Record: Stats, History & Latest Results
Bottom-placed Chile are set to face group leaders Argentina in a contrasting CONMEBOL World Cup qualifier in Santiago on Thursday. Argentina have already secured their place at the 2026 finals back in March. However, Chile are in danger of missing their third consecutive World Cup.
They have only two wins from 14 qualifiers. With that, Ricardo Gareca’s side are rooted to the bottom and trail the playoff spot by five points. Chile’s fixtures offer little room for recovery though, with upcoming ties against heavyweights Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay.
Especially with a toothless attack, they have a severely hampered chance of qualifying. They’ve scored fewer than 10 goals across the campaign and their head-to-head record against Argentina adds to the gloom. They haven’t beaten Las Albicelestes since the 2016 Copa America final.
Meanwhile, Lionel Scaloni’s men remain unbeaten in their last three games. This includes a dominant 4-1 win over Brazil in March. With 13 away points already, Argentina look set to strengthen their reputation as the continent’s most complete side.
