There are four matchdays left in Conmebol's 2026 World Cup qualifying mono-group and the situation couldn't be more different for Chile and Argentina as they meet in the early hours of Friday morning (UK time).

10 points off qualifying pace with 12 available, the hosts kick off in Santiago knowing they need a win to retain any hope of qualifying automatically for the World Cup. A play-off place might be the more realistic goal, but Chile are bottom of the table, 21 points behind leaders Argentina.

The world champions have already qualified for next summer's tournament and are eight points clear of second-placed Ecuador with four matches remaining. They've averaged nearly two goals per game in qualifying.
