Brazil will look to get back to their best when they travel to Chile for their next CONEMBOL 2026 World Cup qualifying match on Thursday.
The Selecao's unimpressive World Cup qualifying campaign continued with a shock 1-0 loss to Paraguay in their previous game. This result meant they had only won one of their last five qualifiers, and saw them drop to fifth in the rankings with a meagre 10 points after eight games.
Similarly, Chile are in torrid form coming into this match, with their 2-1 loss to Bolivia in the last game meaning they were winless in their previous five qualifying matches.

Vinicius Junior will miss Brazil's upcoming round of fixtures due to a minor neck injury. Furthermore, Alisson will also be absent due to a hamstring injury he picked while playing against Crystal Palace for Liverpool.
Additionally, Brazil also see many injuries in defence with Bremer, Eder Militao, and Guilherme Arana all sidelined with injuries. As a result, Gabriel Magalhaes has a strong chance of starting.
Brazil predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Ederson (GK) -- Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel, Telles -- Andre, Guimaraes, Paqueta -- Raphinha, Endrick, Rodrygo.

Brazil come into this game with history on their side, having won 13 of the 17 clashes between them and Chile, only losing once to this opposition.
The Selecao have been far from their best in these qualifiers. However, they should grab the opportunity to turn things around by defeating a Chilean squad who come into this game in much worse form.
