Chile hosts Brazil in round 9 of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Friday, September 3rd at Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos (Santiago de Chile)
The Chilean national team won Copa America relatively recently, in 2015 and 2016. But not so few years have passed since then, and the squad has not changed much. And those who were at their peak in the middle of the last decade are now close to retirement. This also affected the results, which is demonstrated by the team. In the current qualification, the Reds played six matches and scored six points, so now they are outside the World Cup zone. The performances of Martin Lasarte's charges at the Copa America are also difficult to assess. On the one hand, they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. On the other hand, they played against Brazil, the host of the tournament. And Chile scored five points in the group round, gaining draws against such strong opponents as Argentina and Uruguay. Let’s note that the coaching staff will not be to count on Alexis Sanchez, who is still a key player of the team even at 32 years old.

After the failure at the World Cup, the national team of Brazil decided not to change the coach. In general, this move was justified, and Tite’s men managed to win last year's Copa America and earn the maximum points in the new qualification. Selecao won all six games with a total score of 16-2. And the closest pursuer, Argentina, is already six points behind. But at the same time, the Brazilians lost to Albiceleste in the final of the home Copa America in the summer. After a strong start, the Brazilians began to slow down, and the playoffs were difficult. They beat both Chile and Peru minimally (1-0). Now Tite cannot involve players from the Premier League clubs, as they were simply not released due to quarantine restrictions. On the other hand, the coaching staff called up several interesting players, who became the winners of the Tokyo Olympics. And some veterans were invited, including Dani Alves and Hulk.
The history of head-to-head confrontations is very rich, as is the case for all South American teams. However, Chile was able to win only once in the last 17 matches and suffered 13 defeats. Bookmakers believe that the Brazilians will win the upcoming game. Yes, they have staffing problems, but Chile is not in the optimal squad either. We recommend betting on the visitors’ victory.
Prediction for the match: Brazil to win
