Match preview
Chile head coach Ricardo Gareca before the game between Chile and Peru on June 22, 2024
Chile came into the current international period looking for a positive response after suffering a group-stage exit at the 2024 Copa America.
La Roja failed to score in any of their three group matches as they crashed out of the tournament with just two points to their name.
Unfortunately for Chile, their barren run continued in Thursday's away outing against world champions and Copa America winners Argentina.
Alexis Mac Allister, Julian Alvarez and Paulo Dybala all got on the scoresheet to condemn Chile to a 3-0 defeat and their third loss of Ricardo Gareca's tenure (W2, D2).
Having won one, drawn two and lost six of their seven qualifiers, La Roja will head into Tuesday's fixture in ninth position and three points adrift of the automatic qualification places.

Like their hosts, Bolivia also experienced a disappointing Copa America campaign, losing each of their three group games against the USA, Uruguay and Panama.
Bolivia sacked Antonio Carlos Zago following the group-stage exit and subsequently appointed Oscar Villegas as the new manager.
Villegas would have been pleased to begin his tenure with a comfortable 4-0 victory in Thursday's World Cup qualifier against Venezuela.
Ramiro Vaca, Carmelo Algaranaz, Miguelito and Enzo Monteiro all got on the scoresheet to help their country claim their second win of the qualifying campaign.
Having collected six points from seven qualifiers, Bolivia are sitting one point above Chile and two points adrift of the automatic qualification spots.
Possible starting lineup
Chile
Arias; Isla, Catalan, Diaz, Suazo; Osorio, Echeverria, Alarcon; Loyola, Davila, Vargas
Bolivia
Lampe, Sagredo, Haquin, Suarez; Medina, Matheus, Villamil, Fernandez; Miguelito, Chavez; Algaranaz
