Argentina, the reigning Copa America champions, are aiming to build on their initial match performance and push for another title as they face off against two-time winners Chile near New York City.
Lionel Messi and the Argentine frontline missed numerous scoring opportunities in their Group A opener against Canada but still secured a hard-fought 2-0 win.
The Albiceleste understand the significance of earning results, regardless of the performance quality, and their victory over Canada put them in a leading position in the group after the initial stage of matches.
Chile, on the other hand, earned a single point after a goalless draw with Peru in their opener. It was a disappointing display for a nation striving to reclaim its former glory after winning consecutive Copa America titles in 2015 and 2016.
