As many of the domestic football seasons are entering the final few weeks, we get a little break in the action so that the players can head off to represent their respective nations in World Cup qualifying. There are great battles raging in all of the qualifying sections across the world, but one that looks a little strange right now is in South America.
No-one is really surprised that Brazil have a comfortable lead atop the group, but what is downright shocking is that Argentina are currently sitting in 5th, with a legitimate shot at not qualifying for the World Cup next year of they cannot find a way to improve their current form. They will go against Chile on Thursday night, and will be able to leapfrog them into 3rd or 4th, depending on other results, with a win.
Another loss for Argentina could really start to put some serious pressure on this group, as it would see them 4 points back with just 5 qualifying games remaining. You hate to classify a game as a must win, but this one certainly has that feel for Argentina. Find the latest soccer betting odds here.
