Chile and Argentina meet in the Copa America for the second time in their respective histories.

The last time these teams met in the final of this tournament was in 1955. Technically that game was the final game of the tournament, which was a round-robin group stage. The winner was the team that finished atop the group. Argentina and Chile happened to play their final game of the tournament with both sides battling for first place.

Argentina came away with a 1-0 win on that day, earning its 10th South American Championship and the third tournament it would claim in Chile. Argentina would also lift the trophy in Chile in 1991, cementing its legacy as the top team in the tournament's history.

Uruguay would claim two trophies since that time taking back the lead for South America's winningest side, an honor Argentina will look to tie with a 15th Copa America.

Standing in their way is Chile, a team that has never won a Copa America or World Cup. With arguably the best Chilean side of all time, the chance to lift a trophy could not be better.

Yet the team is the underdog against an Argentine side led by the seemingly invincible Lionel Messi. For Messi, this tournament represents the second straight year in which he leads Argentina to the final of a major tournament; he has yet to lift any hardware as a member of Argentina's senior side. Winning on Saturday would take a huge weight off his shoulders and eternally destroy the tag of being a choke artist for his nation.

This game goes one of two ways. Either Argentina and Chile play a cautious and cagey game that ends up 1-0 or in penalties or both teams attack wildly, with one team completely taking advantage on the counter and running up the score.

Argentina seems to be the side more likely to sit tame and let the Chileans attack with all they have. Chile has been the better possession side in this tournament, holding the ball for over 70 percent of its games. However, Argentina has dominated over 65 percent of possession in its games and has finally found its offensive touch. As it exhibited in the 6-1 rout of Paraguay, Argentina is more than capable of countering on the attack, something that Chile has yet to exhibit in this tournament.

Both teams have capable offenses, but while Chile has seemingly plateaued, relying heavily on Eduardo Vargas for goals, Argentina seems to be peaking at the right moment.

However this is a final and anything can and will happen.

Prediction: Argentina already went through a tournament defeat last season and should be primed to learn from its examples. That said, Chile will not want to miss out on the chance to win on home soil.

This is a toss-up with Argentina claiming the win 3-0.
