Argentina vs. Chile Copa America 2016: The Preview, Livestream, Start Time, Ticket Price and TV Info

The Argentinian national team has been a force to reckon with in international tournaments having been able to compete at the highest level at two of the last major competitions: the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and the 2015 Copa America.

While the currently ranked no. 1 team in the FIFA ranking wasn't able to bring home the titles on those two tournaments, Gerardo "Tata" Martino's squad is hoping that third time's finally the charm. However, standing in their way is a familiar foe.

Argentina and Chile are going to face off anew in what would be a rematch of last year's Copa America finals. The highly anticipated contest will take place at the Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The start time will be around 10 p.m. ET.

The two teams from Group D, along with Panama and Bolivia, are expected by a lot of fans to come out of the group stages and go deep into the knockout rounds.

Argentina's success in the tournament is anchored on its best player, but it's a possibility that the team had to do without Lionel Messi when they opened their campaign on Monday.

Messi is going to be a last-minute decision for the match, and Martino is hoping he could have his star player in the opener after being hobbled by a back injury for the past few days.

"The first thing we'll do is listen to the team doctor, who is the most important voice in this sort of situations, then Leo himself because he's the one who knows how he feels," Martino told MLS Soccer. "And after that I'll give him my own perspective in respects to the sporting situation, but the player is the only one who knows how much pain he has."

Chile, on the the other hand, will rely on its talent-laden roster with the likes of Claudio Bravo, Gary Medel, Arturo Vidal and Alexis Sanchez. They are hoping to defend their title after winning the Copa America last year. They would have do it in a less friendly soil, however, as the tournament isn't held from their home turf anymore.

The exciting match can be seen on TV via FS1, UniMás and UDN. The ticket price will start at $75 and could go up to as high as more than $800 for the club level and VIP section.
