Match Preview and team news

Brazil comes into this fixture positioned third in the CONMEBOL qualifying standings, having accumulated 25 points from their matches so far.

Although inconsistent at times in this qualifying campaign, Brazil edged past Paraguay 1-0 in their previous game and have already qualified for the FIFA World Cup 2026 in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.

The big news for Carlo Ancelotti’s men would be that they would miss Neymar due to an injury, and he has not been included in the squad. The Selecao would hope that strikers like Richarlison who has shown good form in the Premier League alongside Joao Pedro, will be able to score goals for them.

Raphinha, who is one of the contenders for the Ballon d’Or would be a player to watch out for as well.

Paul Diaz, the River Plate star, alongside Ben Brereton Diaz, who plays for Southampton in England, will be key to their success in this clash.
