The match
A CONMEBOL clash is in store when World Cup qualifying leaders Brazil host a Chile team desperately fighting to keep their Qatar 2022 dreams alive. Tite’s Brazil side have already qualified for the World Cup all the way back in November and will be tuning up as they seek their sixth World Cup triumph and their first since 2002. The Seleção have been simply fantastic this campaign winning 12 of their 15 matches, drawing three not having yet recorded a loss. Their last match was a 4-0 thumping of Paraguay at home. Their opponents today come into this match in need of points. Chile sit sixth with 19 points in a qualifying table that sees the top four automatically progress and the fifth place team qualify for an intercontinental playoff to decide their fate. A point here would go a long way for La Roja in a match that sees them come in as heavy underdogs. Chile’s last match was a high scoring 3-2 victory against a tough Bolivia team when playing in the altitude of La Paz.
Brazil’s home form cannot be ignored when analyzing this fixture. Tite’s side have a perfect 7-0-0 record when playing on Brazilian soil in qualifying while notching 19 goals and conceding just once. Chile have struggled on their travels and have only managed to win two of their eight away matches. La Roja certainly have more on the line in this match with their qualifying window closing fast but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they will have the mental advantage. Of course, Brazil can play without pressure having already qualified, but there is still plenty on the line for the Seleção. They will surely be aiming to maintain their unbeaten campaign and their perfect home record while the fierce competition in the squad to make the starting 11 means that the players always go out there with something to prove. It’s difficult to envision a result for the visitors in this match given the hosts' stalwart defensive performances and the attacking flair they possess. Ultimately, Chile’s World Cup participation could hinge on their final match of the qualifying campaign when they meet fourth place Uruguay in SantiagoKey Statistics
- Chile have an away record of 2-2-4 in qualifying.
- The last fixture between the two ended in a 1-0 away victory for Brazil.
- Brazil have netted in four of their last five fixtures.
- Chile have been in similarly impressive goal scoring form, scoring in five of their last five, but have kept only one clean sheet during that stretch.
The bet of our experts
We’re going with Brazil to win the match and under 4.5 goals as our selection for this one. Despite Chile’s desperate need for points, Brazil’s home form has simply been too good to go against. La Roja’s goal scoring streak could come to an end here against a rock solid defense that has kept six clean sheets from their seven home matches. A 2-0 victory for the Brazilians seems the most likely result here.
