Chile vs Argentina Preview
Chile
Chile are still looking for their first win at the Copa America after being held by a dogged Peru in their opening match in Group A.
Chile dominated the match, with 65% of the ball and the lion’s share of shots, 11 to Peru’s 7. However, their lack of precision and penetration was underscored by their solitary shot on target to Peru’s 4.

Argentina were superior in the match, dominating possession with 65% of the ball and topping the shots on target charts with 9 to Canada’s 2.
