The defending champions, Argentina, will face off against Chile in their second Copa America 2024 Group A match at MetLife Stadium on Tuesday, June 26th (Wednesday in IST). Argentina, who kicked off their campaign with a convincing 2-0 victory against Canada, has a golden opportunity to secure their place in the quarter-finals with a win. On the other hand, Chile, who started with a 0-0 draw against Peru, will be looking to bounce back with a positive result.
A win for Argentina, coupled with a draw between Canada and Peru, would see them top their Copa America group for the first time since 2016. The match holds historical significance, as Argentina has never lost a Copa America fixture against Chile in regulation time. However, Chile emerged victorious on penalties in both the 2015 and 2016 finals, adding a layer of intrigue to the upcoming encounter.
For Chile, Diego Valdes might not feature in the match after being substituted at halftime in the previous game due to a knock. Victor Davila, Alexis Sanchez, and Erick Pulgar all received yellow cards in their opening match. If they receive another yellow card against Argentina, they will be suspended for their final group game.
On the Argentine side, Captain Lionel Messi etched his name in Copa America history by making his 35th appearance in the competition, surpassing Sergio Livingstone. Youngsters Valentin Carboni and Alejandro Garnacho, who remained unused substitutes against Canada, might get their chance to shine in the upcoming match. Enzo Fernandez, known for his prowess at Chelsea, is also expected to feature.
The Chile vs Argentina Copa America 2024 Group A match will kick off on Wednesday, June 26th at 6:30 AM IST at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, United States of America.
