Chile host Paraguay at the Estadio Monumental David Arellano on Monday (March 27) in a friendly.
The hosts have endured a torrid run of results recently and have rapidly fallen down the FIFA rankings, particularly after missing the FIFA World Cup last year. Chile played out a goalless draw against Slovakia last time out. They might feel they deserved more from but could not beat an inspired Martin Dubravka at goal.
Paraguay, meanwhile, endured a more difficult World Cup qualifying campaign than their opponents, finishing eighth with 16 points from 18 games. They're yet to find their feet under manager Guillermo Barros Schelotto. Monday's game will mark the visitors' first since they lost 2-0 to Colombia in November last year.

Chile vs Paraguay Prediction
Chile are on a poor nine-game winless run since March last year. They have lost four of their last five home games and will be desperate to return to winning ways.
Paraguay, meanwhile, are on a run of back-to-back defeats and have won just two of their last eight games across competitions. They have struggled away from home recently and could lose this one.
Prediction: Chile 1-0 Paraguay
