Starting point for South American countries to take part in the 2014 World Cup begins. The Conmebol Zone qualifiers begins on Friday (7 / 10).

Of the four games that will be held simultaneously, probably Argentina against Chile will get more attention. Currently, both teams’ quality are rated not much different.

Especially for Argentina, the game against Chile could boost their moral over the failure in the Copa America in July. The failure was followed by the sacking of Sergio Batista and replaced by Alejandro Sabella.

Argentina’s effort to beat Chile in the first game is definitely wide open. Because, Chile certainly could not play Alexis Sanchez. For vice-captain Javier Mascherano who will not play due to suspension, loss of Sanchez was a big impact for Chile.

For the visitors, coach Claudio Borghi remain confident even without the presence of Sanchez. Although, Borghi admits that Lionel Messi will be the most dangerous player on the game later.

Well, with this condition, the Monumental public, where the fight will take place probably would have witnessed the resurrection of Team Tango. Without the presence of Sanchez, a heavy work is awaiting Chile.

Line-Up Prediction
Argentina (4-2-3-1): Andujar; Zabaleta, Otamendi, Burdisso, Rojo; Brana, Banega; Di Maria, Pastore, Messi; Higuain
Chile (3-4-1-2): Bravo; Jara, Ponce, Gonzalez; Isla, Carmona, Vidal, Beausejour; Fernandez; Pinilla, Suazo
