Chile will look to confirm their place in the Copa America quarter-finals on Friday, when they take on Paraguay in their final game of the group stage.

Martin Lasarte's men currently sit second in the group, having collected five points from three games, while their opponents occupy third spot with three points from their two matches so far.

We say: Chile 2-0 Paraguay

Although Paraguay look an exciting prospect, Chile should have enough to pick up another three points on Friday, having shown their quality in the group stage.

The pairing of Maripan and Medel has been formidable so far, and they will aim for a clean sheet, while Lasarte's attack will have enough chances to take the game away from Paraguay.
