Chile v El Salvador: Sampaoli's men search for form

Chile finalise their Copa America preparations looking to return to winning form with a clash against El Salvador on Friday.

Jorge Sampaoli's men had been in decent form post-World Cup, only to suffer losses in three of their past four friendlies.

Alexis Sanchez has enjoyed a fine season with Arsenal and will be the key man for Sampaoli's men.

However, they are without midfielder Arturo Vidal as he prepares for Juventus' UEFA Champions League final against Barcelona in Berlin on Saturday.

Albert Roca's men have won just one of their past eight matches, including being winless in their three encounters in 2015.

El Salvador went down 2-0 to Honduras on Sunday despite playing against 10 men for over a half.

Fredrikstad striker Rafael Burgos (12 international goals) is the leading goalscorer in Roca's squad.
