However, that is not to say that the match between the two teams will be of no interest. Just like their geographical locations, the two teams have hugely contrasting styles of play.

Schedule; News; Photos; Points Table
Chile will be the favourites in the match as it is said to be the best Chilean side of all time. The Latin American side's superior skills were appreciated when they beat England 2-0 in their own den last November. However, like as always, can Chile convert their potential into goals?
The injury of Arturo Vidal, will, however, be a worry for the Chilean team.
Chile look favourites to win the match against Australia
Australia, on the other hand, are undergoing a transition. The 0-6 drubbing that they got against France in a friendly last October led to unfriendly consequences for the former coach Holger Osieck and he was replaced by Ange Postecoglou. But can he turn things around for the Socceroos who have won just two of their 10 games at three World Cups? Mile Jedinak besides Tim Cahill will be Australia's main hope.
The match will begin at Arena Pantanal at 2.30 am IST.
Teams:
Chile (Possible, 3-4-3): Bravo; Jara, Medel, Gonzalez; Isla, Vidal, Diaz, Beausejour; Sanchez, Vargas, Fernandez. Coach: Jorge Sampaoli
Australia (Possible, 4-3-3): Ryan; Franjic, Spiranovic, McGowan, Davidson; Milligan, Jedinak, Bresciano; Halloran, Cahill, Oar. Coach: Ange Postecoglou
