It has been a largely disappointing World Cup qualification campaign for the most successful nation in World Cup history.
However, Dorival Junior’s side will be the favored selection when making a Chile vs. Brazil prediction this week.
Brazil desperately require a return to form after losing for the fourth time in eight qualifiers in the October break.
There will also be pressure on the hosts, as Chile have won just once in eight qualifying matches to this point.

Chile Team News
Chile
Chile’s dreams of reaching a first World Cup since 2014 already look in tatters after losing five of their eight qualifying matches. There is certainly an emphasis on youth in Ricardo Gareca’s squad for the upcoming internationals.
Seven uncapped players have been named in the squad. Alexis Sanchez is the big exclusion, as the former Arsenal star has been left out for the October internationals.
Possible Lineup
Brayan Cortes (GK); Paulo Diaz, Guilermo Maripan, Felipse Loyola, Marcelo Morales, Erick Pulgar, Dario Osorio, Diego Valdes, Carlos Palacios, Victor Davila, Maximiliano Guerrero
Brazil Team News
The pressure continues to increase on Brazil, as they are narrowly inside the required qualifying positions after winning just three of their eight matches.
Dorival Junior will once again be without Neymar, while Casemiro has also been left out of the squad. Savinho could be handed a start after impressing in the season’s opening months for Man City.
Possible Lineup
Ederson (GK); Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel, Alex Telles, Lucas Paqueta, Bruno Guimaraes, Andre, Savinho, Rodrygo, Gabriel Martinelli
Chile vs. Brazil Prediction
It has been incredibly hard to trust Brazil in South American World Cup qualification to this point.
However, Chile are right at the beginning of a new era, and their youthful squad could come up short against the savvier South American giants on Thursday.
