Chile
Chile’s Copa America ended with an exit that came earlier than many expected given Chile’s reputation as one of the four best teams in Latin America. Here they return to face the team that knocked them out in the quarter-finals; the Brazil team beat them 1-0.
In the World Cup qualifiers, the Chileans have managed one win, three draws, and two defeats so far. Of their six total points, five have come with them as the home team.
Brazil
After losing the final of the Copa America to arch-rivals Argentina at the Maracana stadium, the Brazilians are now focusing their efforts on the World Cup in Qatar, where they wish to establish themselves as the favourites to win the biggest tournament in football.
Brazil have won all six matches they have played so far and are practically assured of a ticket to Qatar. They have also scored 16 goals, compared to only two that they have conceded in the six matches.
Of the last ten meetings between the two countries, Brazil emerged victorious on seven occasions.

Chile vs Brazil Predictions
In recent times, the gulf between the two teams has grown massively. Brazil were always thought to lack good defensive play, but they have the best defence among the ten countries. Meanwhile, in attack, they constantly create chances, and it seems that they are a team that defends by attacking. In short, we think Brazil will win this match.
