Betting on Argentina (-54.5)

Argentina bounced back from their opening Pool D loss to England with a thrilling 19-10 win over Samoa last Friday.

Emiliano Boffelli starred for Los Pumas, who kept their quarter-final hopes alive with the hard-fought victory.

He scored 16 of Argentina's 19 points against Samoa, including a try and three penalties.

The Pumas got a huge break after full-back Duncan Paia'aua was sent to the sin bin in the opening minute due to a needless tackle on Argentina's Santiago Carreras.

They opened up a 10-point lead at the break and staved off a furious fightback by Samoa to earn their first win of this year's World Cup.

They remain fourth in Pool D despite recording what is only their second-ever victory over the Pacific Islanders, who stay second behind undefeated leaders England, per Yahoo Sports.

Argentina will fancy their chances of beating Chile as they have fared extremely well against them in their past head-to-head matchups.

Los Pumas are undefeated in 39 Test matches against Chile.

Head coach Michael Cheika has made 11 changes to the starting lineup that won against Samoa, with Eduardo Bello, Juan Martin González, Marcos Kremer, and Guido Petti the only four players retaining their spots.

Betting on Chile (+54.5)

Things are going from bad to worse for Los Condores in the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

They suffered another heavy defeat last Saturday in Pool A, losing 71-0 to England. Chile had no answer for Henry Arundell, who scored five tries in the rout.

They have now lost by an average of 44.7 points in their first three group games.

Chile have allowed 156 points and 22 tries in the losses to Japan, Samoa, and England. They have struggled to put points on the board as well, scoring just 22 points and recording three tries in those three matches.

They will look to get their first win of the tournament against Argentina in an all-South American fixture.

Chile's test side made history in 2021 when they defeated Argentina's XV team for the first time.

They will look to create more history and pick up their first victory over the Pumas in a test match this coming Saturday.
