The national teams of Chile and Australia will play against each other within the third round of the Confederations Cup group stage. The match will be held in Moscow at Otkrytiye Arena. Bookmakers see the Chileans as the clear favorites of the encounter in this couple and it is hard to disagree with that, considering the level of the future competitors. Whereas it is important to note, that both Chilean and Australian team can be called offensive.
The Chile national team has come to the Confederations Cup to win, nobody is hiding it in the South Americans’ camp, and the match against Germany showed, that the Reds have chances on a victory in Russia. After two played rounds, the Chile national team has four gained points: the victory over Cameroon and a draw with the Germans. Chile will play exclusively for the win in the forthcoming encounter.
The Australia national team has had a defensive match against Cameroon, but this is more a merit of the Africans. The Kangaroos are considered to be an offensive team and the statistics of the recent matches of the side proves that: 3:2 with Saudi Arabia, 0:4 with Brazil and 2:3 with Germany. The Australians have nothing to lose in the forthcoming game, therefore they may go all-in, which will probably end in an efficient result, as the Chileans have a very powerful line of attack, which will probably be able to make benefit of the free zones in the Australians’ defense.
For the Chile national team to advance to the Confederations Cup playoffs even a draw will suffice, but one can be sure, that the Reds will put maximum effort to win, moreover, there is every reason to believe, that the victory will be confident.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals in the match
