It is quite astounding given the things that have happened each time Argentina and Chile meet when there is something big up for grabs. Chile are fourth with 20 points and Argentina are fifth with 19, so three points is essential for both sides. Only four sides qualify for the World Cup directly, and the fifth side has to go through play offs.
