Brazil vs Chile Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers

Seleção Canarinho emerged victorious when these sides last faced each other.

The Brazil national football team are all set to host the Chile national football team in the matchweek 17 fixture of the CONMEBOL FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers. The interesting contest will take place at the Estadio do Maracanã.

Since the appointment of Carlo Ancelotti as the head coach, Seleção Canarinho have been involved in two matches and is unbeaten in both of them. They are placed third in the World Cup qualifiers table for CONMEBOL. The Brazil national football team are now looking comfortable, but a loss here can change the scenario.

In their 16 FIFA World Cup qualifier games, the Chile national football team have only been able to win two matches and are placed last on the points table. They will not be able to qualify for the upcoming mega competition. The upcoming game is going to be a tough affair for them.

With his presence in the midfield, Casemiro is going to play a crucial role for the hosts.

Ben Brereton Díaz (Chile)
