Chile attempts to remain alive for the inter-confederation playoffs when it hosts Uruguay in the final 2022 FIFA World Cup South American qualifying match for both sides on Tuesday. Chile (5-4-8) occupies seventh place in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualification standings with 19 points and needs a victory, as well as losses by Peru (21 points) and Colombia (20) in order to advance to the playoffs. Uruguay (7-4-6), which already has clinched a spot in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar later this year, has won its last three qualifying matches.
Kickoff at Estadio San Carlos de Apoquindo in Santiago, Chile is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Chile is the +110 favorite (risk $100 to win $110) in the latest Chile vs. Uruguay odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while Uruguay is the +245 underdog.

Why you should back Chile
Chile is led offensively by Alexis Sanchez, who is tied for seventh in South American qualifying with five goals. The 33-year-old recorded a brace in the team’s 3-2 triumph over Bolivia on Feb. 1 and also scored Chile’s lone goal in a 2-1 loss to Uruguay in its qualification opener. Sanchez also ranks first on the squad with three assists.
Another dangerous offensive player for Chile is Arturo Vidal. The 34-year-old midfielder did not play in the team’s matches against Argentina and Bolivia earlier this year but returned to the pitch for its 4-0 loss to Brazil last Thursday. Vidal is tied with four others for 10th place with four goals during qualifying play.
Why you should back Uruguay
Uruguay ended 2021 in dismal fashion, losing its final four qualifying matches by a combined 11-1 score. Three of the setbacks came against the top two teams in the standings in Brazil and Argentina (twice), but the Uruguayans have bounced back nicely this year. The squad has won each of its three contests in 2022, outscoring its opponents by a 6-1 margin.
The Uruguayans have a very dangerous offensive weapon in Luis Suarez. The 35-year-old forward is tied for third place with seven goals during qualifying play and has scored twice in his last three matches. Giorgian De Arrascaeta shares seventh place with five tallies and has converted in each of Uruguay’s last two contests.
