Chile racked up 10 goals in the group stage of the Copa, with no other team reaching five, and this should indicate that they are on a level where it is no problem for them to convert their chances. However, Chilean football expert Leonardo Veliz expressed that they weren’t as impressive in the first phase as their tally would suggest, according to gambling news.
“The Chile that qualified did not convince me,” he expressed. “Its apparent brilliance came only against an already qualified Bolivia. Those five goals against Bolivia hide a reality. There are great individual strengths… but also gaping collective weaknesses which could be exposed against opponents with more quality.”
They will have 90 minutes to seal the game before a possible penalty shoot-out against a Uruguay team that is capable of knocking out the hosts. Even without their biggest star, the banned Luis Suarez, because their strengths are the organized defending and nodding in high balls in the opposition’s box.
