In a crucial CONMEBOL FIFA World Cup qualifier, Brazil and Chile—two struggling giants—lock horns at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martinez Pradanos in Santiago on Friday.
With both nations enduring underwhelming qualifying campaigns, this fixture carries enormous significance as each side attempts to revive their faltering bids for a place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Brazil, fresh off a poor run of results, will look to maintain their grip on a qualification spot. Meanwhile, Chile, languishing near the bottom of the standings, must secure a win to salvage their faltering campaign.
🔴Chile Hope to Halt Downward Spiral | Home Win = 6.25💵
Chile’s qualifying campaign has been disastrous, with just one win in eight matches, leaving them second from bottom in the group.
Ricardo Gareca’s side is in desperate need of a revival, especially after losing their last two games in September against Argentina (0-3) and Bolivia (1-2). Chile’s poor attacking form has been their Achilles heel, with La Roja failing to score in four of their last five matches.
With Alexis Sanchez side-lined, Chile will rely on Eduardo Vargas to lead their attack. However, their chances of breaking Brazil’s defence, which has kept four clean sheets in their last four meetings, look slim.
🟡Brazil Seek Crucial Win to Revive Campaign | Away Win = 1.55💵
Brazil’s form has been far from convincing, with just three wins from eight matches in the qualifiers. Dorival Junior's men, who have lost four of their last five qualifiers, will be desperate to avoid a slip-up in Santiago.
Despite their inconsistent run, Brazil can rely on their historical dominance over Chile, having lost just one of their last 19 encounters with La Roja.
Brazil’s attack, led by Rodrygo, Raphina, and Endrick, will be tasked with breaking down Chile’s conceding defence. However, the absence of their star player, Vinicius Junior, due to injury, might complicate Brazil’s challenge as they aim to snap a win.
🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:
Brazil will miss key players, Vinicius Junior, Allison, and Eder Militao. The last two, key defensive players in Dorival’s starting eleven. Gabriel Magalhaes is expected to start alongside Marquinhos in defence, while Rodrygo, Raphina, and Endrick or Saviho are likely to spearhead the attack.
Chile will be without Alexis Sanchez and have dropped veterans Mauricio Isla and Gabriel Arias. Ben Brereton Diaz has also been left out due to poor form, placing the attacking burden on Eduardo Vargas.
