Latest odds

Mexico are 23/20 (2.15) favourites with SportPesa to enjoy back-to-back wins, while the same firm go 47/20 (3.35) that Tuesday's tussle ends in stalemate.

Alexis Sanchez Chile

Chile, who failed to qualify for this summer's World Cup in Russia, have won just one of their last six matches and they can be backed at 23/10 (3.30) to halt their slide with a win in this game.

Team news

Ferretti named a starting line-up comprising entirely of players from the country's domestic league against Los Ticos as he seeks to find fresh blood.

It was a young, inexperienced side and it will be fascinating to see how the manager blends youth and experience for this friendly fixture against the South Americans.

Chile were completely outclassed against Los Incas, but Rueda's men could welcome back star striker, Alexis Sanchez, who missed the match on US soil as a consequence of ongoing visa issues.

Mexico mauled

The previous meeting of these two teams came in the last eight of Copa America two years ago when El Tri suffered a humiliating defeat as Chile cantered to a memorable 7-0 victory.

Rueda's men are a 7/2 (4.50) chance to win to nil on this occasion, while SportPesa offer 33/10 (4.30) that Mexico (-1) gain a modicum of revenge by beating the handicap mark this time around.

Prediction

Nine of the last 12 matches between these nations has seen fewer than three goals scored, which would naturally point to another low-scoring affair here.

Both countries, though, looked defensively fragile in their most recent matches and, so, there is plenty of potential for goals when this rivalry is renewed.

SportPesa go 21/20 (2.05) that there are more than two goals scored on Tuesday night and it is a play that could prove profitable for punters.
