Prediction: 3-1
Bolivia
Arena Pantanal will host Friday’s football game between Chile and Bolivia. La Roja did well to hold Argentina to a 1-1 draw in their opener, with the team proving their worth in the second half. Even though key attacker Alexis Sanchez is sidelined with injury, Chile are seen as hot favourites to beat Bolivia, who experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Paraguay. Eduardo Vargas picked up a knock in the draw with Leo Messi and Co, but the experienced attacker should be fit to face El Tri.
Bolivia obviously struggle at the back, and seeing that several players have been tested positive for coronavirus, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Teenage attacker Jaume Cuellar misses the match through suspension. In their last meeting at Copa America (2016) Chile defeated Bolivia 2-1.
