World Champions Argentina are back in action as they will face off against Chile in a World Cup Qualifying game tonight. The Albeceleste have already secured their place in the upcoming FIFA World Cup and are standing at the top of the table with 31 points, 8 points clear of Ecuador. Argentina are in great form and won two games against Uruguay and Brazil back in March without their superstar, Lionel Messi. With great momentum, the match against Chile should not be a difficult one for the Albeceleste. Argentine boss Lionel Scaloni said, "The result is always important, but today we believe it's not important. We'll try to ensure the players adapt well and have the opportunity to earn playing time with the national team." Chile, on the other hand, are having A very difficult time. They stand at the bottom of the table with only 10 points from 14 games in the World Cup qualifiers. They will also miss the World Cup for the third successive time. Chile have lost four of their last five meetings with Argentina.
