ARGENTINA visit Chile needing just a point to qualify for this year’s World Cup in Qatar.
But they’ll have to get it without Lionel Messi, who is being rested for this round of fixtures as he continues 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.
