Analysis and predictions for Brazil vs Chile: Selecao assert their dominance.

Latest team news for Brazil vs Chile

With the result no longer having much significance, coach Ancelotti made things easier for Real Madrid by not calling up the quartet of Vinícius Jr., Rodrygo, Éder Militão, and Endrick. Thus, Raphinha (Barcelona) is the only La Liga player included.

Centre-back Marquinhos is about to make his 100th appearance for the national team, but he will be playing alongside many young faces: the remaining seven defenders on the list have a combined total of only 29 caps. Up front, Matheus Cunha (injured) is absent, giving opportunities to the in-form duo of Joao Pedro and Richarlison.

On the other side, new coach Nicolas Córdova drastically overhauled the squad, dropping 13 players compared to Gareca's list, including Francisco Sierralta (suspended). Veteran trio Alexis Sánchez, Arturo Vidal, and Charles Aránguiz were also not called up, likely ending their international careers. Goalkeeper Brayan Cortés was also absent, meaning all three goalkeepers this time have never played for the national team.

Notably, 20 players on the Chilean roster have fewer than 10 appearances, with 9 of them never having played internationally. This is almost a complete "rebuilding" after a disappointing three-year period.

Latest football match prediction: Brazil vs Chile

Brazil entered the final two qualifying matches in a relaxed mood, having officially secured their place in the 2026 World Cup back in June.

However, the campaign was generally unconvincing.SeleçãoBrazil was once just outside the relegation zone and is now 10 points behind Argentina. The gap between second and sixth place is only 3 points, demonstrating Argentina's absolute dominance and reflecting Brazil's disappointing decline – especially since they remain below Ecuador, even though their rivals have had 3 points deducted.

Under Carlo Ancelotti, Brazil started with a 0-0 draw against Ecuador and a 1-0 home win against Paraguay. Since then, they have lost only one of their last eight matches (against Argentina), a run that secured their qualification. Notably, the turning point came with a 2-1 victory in Santiago against Chile, a late goal that saved them from relegation in the race for the top six.

Meanwhile, Chile had a disastrous qualifying campaign. A 0-2 defeat to Bolivia in June – against an opponent who played with ten men for 70 minutes – ended their slim hopes and marked their third consecutive World Cup absence. Coach Ricardo Gareca subsequently resigned, making way for Nicolas Córdova as interim coach for the final two matches.

Chile's goal now is simply to avoid finishing last in the group. But their chances of earning points in Brazil are virtually zero, as they have only managed 1 point and scored just 1 away goal in 8 qualifying matches. Chile have yet to score a goal in 2025, and facing Brazil – a team they have only beaten 8 out of 76 encounters – is clearly not an ideal opportunity to end this drought.
