Brazil vs Chile Preview and Team News

Brazil Team News

Brazil are one of the three South American sides that have already secured berths at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, alongside Argentina and Ecuador. Now the goal for Carlo Ancelotti’s men is to finish the campaign as high as possible while adjusting to life under the tutelage of the Italian. 

They’ve gone undefeated since the appointment of Ancelotti, drawing against Ecuador in the altitude of Quito and defeating Paraguay at home.

La Seleçao should be confident about their chances of getting a positive result against a lowly Chile squad in front of their fans at the almighty Estádio Maracanã. 

Brazil have won each of the last five head-to-head meetings with La Roja while keeping four clean sheets, and they’re also on a run of five games without a defeat at home in the qualifying run (W4, D1).

Ancelotti is expected to make changes compared to the side that played in the previous two rounds, as his goal is to give chances to players who haven’t had a lot of minutes in the qualifiers. 

Names such as Vinícius Júnior, Eder Militao, and several other high-profile players aren’t part of the team for these two fixtures. Even with those absences, Brazil boast an impressive collection of talent from the best leagues in the world, clearly superior to Chile in that regard.

Brazil predicted line-up vs Chile (4-3-3): Alisson; Vanderson, Gabriel, Marquinhos, Henrique; Guimarães, Casemiro, Paquetá; Raphinha, Richarlison, Estêvão.

Chile Team News

Chile are on the opposite end of the spectrum. They began their road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup with Eduardo Berizzo in charge, who was later replaced by Ricardo Gareca, but the struggles continued. Gareca was fired following a 0-2 defeat to Bolivia in El Alto on June 10, a loss that confirmed La Roja’s elimination from the World Cup, making it the third straight tournament they’ve failed to qualify.

This is a far cry from the side that marvelled the world by winning back-to-back Copa America titles in 2015 and 2016. The players from that elite generation are gone, and now Chile are looking to find the next wave of talent that can turn things around. 

Interim manager Nicolás Córdova has decided to call up a young squad with an average age of 24.5 years, clearly with an eye toward the long-term future of the team.

Form-wise, though, it’s hard to believe Chile can get anything out of this game. They’ve collected just one point of their last 12 available in competitive matches and failed to score in each of those outings. 

They rank second-worst in both attack and defence in the qualifying run. As if that wasn’t enough, they’ve also been the worst away side in South America, with only one point taken out of a possible 24 and only one goal scored in that stretch.

Chile predicted line-up vs Brazil (4-2-3-1): Vigoroux; Hormazábal, Díaz, Maripán, Suazo; Loyola, Echeverría; Osorio, Assadi, Cepeda; Brereton Díaz.

Brazil vs Chile Prediction, Odds

Brazil are the better side by a wide margin and shouldn’t have problems winning this game with absolute ease. 

Based on the state of the Chilean national team, the incredible depth the hosts have, and the sizable gap between both squads in terms of talent and experience, La Canarinha should dominate early and establish control en route to a win by a margin of multiple goals, if not an outright blowout.

The visitors are expected to field a very young line-up with limited international experience, whereas Brazil will feature names who routinely thrive at clubs such as FC Barcelona, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Arsenal, just to name a few. 

Plus, Chile’s woeful record away from home in the qualifiers can’t be overlooked. They lack the necessary weapons and experience to pull off the upset.

Considering all these factors, any other result that’s not a win by a multiple-goal margin would be a disappointment for the home side. Chile have conceded 17 in eight away matches in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers, and there’s little reason to believe that tally won’t increase against Brazil’s impressive attacking line led by Raphinha and Richarlison, who are thriving in La Liga and the Premier League.

Brazil vs Chile Betting Tip

Brazil shouldn’t have problems finding the back of the net multiple times. Chile are unlikely to sit back with an all-defensive approach, but they also don’t have enough quality to pose a threat against their opponents. Thus, most of the scoring chances should fall to the hosts, who have the firepower to capitalise on their opportunities time and time again.

The recent head-to-head record doesn’t do La Roja any favours. They’ve conceded at least three goals in each of their last four trips to Brazil in the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, including a 4-0 defeat in March 2022. With Chile sending out a relatively inexperienced side and Ancelotti’s men looking to boost their confidence, the stage is set for another huge victory for La Seleçao.
