This is a replay of last year’s America’s Cup final and also a duel between the first and 5 of the FIFA national rankings, which promises to be very interesting. They met in groups, but it is conceivable to see them in a confrontation and later possibly even the final. Now Argentina is in better shape, being defeated in last 6 matches exactly the early qualifying campaign for the World Cup, and in this period he won 4 times. Chile managed to get just one win in the previous 6 parties, and was defeated in both duels friendly before this competition. World Cup qualifiers, Argentina was better, with one point more than Chile. Already they met in a match in which Argentina managed to win the 3 points home after the final score was 2-1. In last year’s final America’s Cup, Chile was victorious after kicks from 11 meters.
He won 14 times this trophy, but the last time was in 1993 and it is clear that it expects more to lift the cup. It was very close last year, but even Chile stopped her in the final. Definitely wants to win the trophy this year, especially as we celebrate 100 years since the founding of the competition and is very motivated, considering that coach Martino called best players. Included in the lot near the stars, with the exception of Perez, Dybala and Garay. Another problem is the status of some players who do not feel well and probably will miss this duel, like: Messi, Lavezzi, BIGLIA and Pastore. Argentina has not had a great start in the qualifiers for the World Cup, but started playing better, and now the situation is worrisome. In the last friendly duel defeated 1-0 by Honduras, being the 4th victory in a row.
He defends his title that he won last year. It was the first trophy won by Chile in the competition which was organized also in Chile. He wants to keep the cup in the window, and it is the objective that it has set, but will not be easy because it will meet strong opponents. The first obstacle is even Argentina who wants revenge for last year lost the final. Looking over the latest results, Chile is a drop in form. He earned two wins in qualifiers for the World Cup, after which he twice finished in a draw. Last game defeated Venezuela 4-1, the only victory in the last six clashes. Chileans were defeated Jamaica 2-1 and Mexico 1-0. Earlier this year came on the bench coach Antonio Pizzi, who convened the most in form players. Will miss Fenandes, Valdivia Gutierrez and Orellana, the first three being included in the squad.
