Brazil takes on Chile at the Maracana in the penultimate game of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers for South American countries. The Brazilians have already qualified, while Chile is stuck at the bottom of the 10-team table and arrives in Rio de Janeiro with a new coach and a bunch of inexperienced players in what is essentially a dead rubber. Carlo Ancelotti, Brazil's new coach, is set to play some of his other choices, having left out regulars like Vinicius Junior. The Selecao are massive favorites to beat the hapless Chileans, having defeated them 2-1 in Santiago earlier in the campaign.

Brazil vs Chile Match Preview
Brazil form and statistics
Brazil are third in the table and have qualified for the 2026 World Cup with two games still to play. However, it was a poor campaign for the Selecao, who, although they are third on the table, are ten points behind table-topping rivals Argentina. Ancelotti, the former Real Madrid coach is unbeaten in his first two games, playing out a 0-0 draw with Ecuador before his team scored a 1-0 victory at home to Paraguay. In their last eight qualifying games, Brazil’s only loss was to Argentina. However, too many draws threatened to undo them. PSG’s Marquinhos will make his 100th appearance for the national team, but Rodrygo, Eder Militao, Vinicius Junior, and Endrick will be absent from the game. In-form Chelsea striker Joao Pedro and fellow Premier League player Richarlison have a chance to make a claim for themselves with the rare opportunity to start. Brazil has won seven games, drawn four, and lost five in the qualifying series.
Brazil possible Starting lineup
Alisson; Vanderson, Marquinhos, Gabriel, Caio Henrique, Bruno Guimaraes, Casemiro, Raphinha, Joao Pedro, Estevao, Richarlison
Bet on Brazil vs Chile with Bet365Chile: form and statistics
A poor qualifying series has Chile already eliminated and sitting at the bottom of the pile. Two wins from 16 games so far mean that the Chileans must begin to rebuild. Following a defeat against Bolivia in June, Ricardo Garcia was replaced by interim manager Nicola Cordova, whose main job is to ensure the team doesn't finish qualifying bottom of the CONMEBOL table. He has cleared out the stable, including veterans Alexis Sanchez, Arturo Vidal, and Charles Aranguiz. A significant number of the new group of players have less than 10 caps, including a trio of uncapped goalkeepers.
Chile possible starting lineup
Giller; Hormazabal, Maripan, Kuscevic, Suazo, Osorio, Echeverria, Loyola, Tapia, Brereton Diaz, Aravena
Brazil vs. Chile Match Prediction
There is only one verdict here, and it is a home victory for the Brazilians in Maracana against an inexperienced Chile side. Cordova will mostly set up his team to restrict maximum damage. As a result, we are predicting a No for Both Teams To Score.
