How are Argentina not qualifying with that squad? How are they averaging less than a goal a game with Aguero, Dybala, Higuain, Icardi and Messi?
Sampaoli prefers Benedetto over Dybala and Higuain. Aguero has never really shone for Argentina.

If Argentina win their final match, isn't Chile losing the only result they need? Not that it's easy, but it's not tons of results either.
That's if they win their last match. If they win they don't even need Chile to lose because Peru and Colombia plays each other.
I highly doubt they can win though, they haven't won any competitive match since March, draw 3 and lost 1. What's worse is that they have fired blanks in all 4 of their last matches despite Sampaoli starting 3 strikers. They have a huge mountain to climb given their terrible record against Ecuador, while Ecuador's home record reads:
Ecuador have only lost three of their 37 World Cup qualifying games at home since 2000, including two wins and a draw against Argentina.
