Argentina vs Chile Team News
Barcelona ace Leo Messi misses the Copa America opener against Chile thriugh injury, with Nico Gaitan likely to replace him in the starting XI. Midfielder Lucas Biglia is expected to miss all three group games, but he has a chance of recovering in time for the quarter-finals. The likes of Carlos Tevez and Paulo Dybala did not make the final roster, but Kun Aguero is included and he is likely to pose a big threat for the opposition back line.

Argentina vs Chile Prediction
Argentina head into their Copa America opener without injured ace Leo Messi and, no doubt, the Barcelona superstar will be sorely missed in Tuesday’s clash. Chile have been struggling to find their best form of late and, taking everything into account, under 2.5 goals bet appears on the cards. The two teams played out a goalless draw in the 2015 Copa America final, but Chile eventually defeated Argentina on penalties.
Betting Tip: Under 2.5 goals
Odds: 1.70 (7/10) @Unibet
