Brazil vs Chile: H2H stats
The five-time World Champions have always dominated Chile in their history. Brazil and Chile have played each other in 76 games so far.
Brazil have won 55 times while Chile have only won 8 matches. 13 matches have ended in a draw.
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.
Chile, in contrast, is struggling at the bottom of the table and has endured a challenging year with only a few positive moments.
Their recent form highlights a shocking 2-0 home defeat against Bolivia, and the team will be desperate to bounce back in this tough away fixture.
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.
Possible lineups:
Brazil: Alisson, Wesley, Marquinhos, A. Ribeiro, D. Santos, B. Guimarães, Casemiro, Estêvão, Raphinha, G. Martinelli, J. Pedro
Chile: L. Vigouroux, F. Hormazábal, P. Díaz, G. Maripán, G. Suazo, I. Saavedra, R. Echeverría, A. Aravena, L. Cabral, D. Osorio, B. Brereton Díaz
