The two teams had met in eighty-six previous occasions, the last being a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying match held at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos in Santiago in early 2016, which Argentina won 2–1. Their last Copa América meeting was the 2015 Copa América Final, where Chile earned their first Copa América title by defeating Argentina 4–1 in a penalty shoot-out after a scoreless draw.
