The legendary Maracana Stadium will be the backdrop for a crucial FIFA World Cup Qualifier as Brazil take on Chile next Friday. Selecao, who have already secured their place at the 2026 World Cup, are coming off a narrow 1-0 victory against Paraguay.
La Roja, on the other hand, suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Bolivia in their last outing and are desperate for a positive result to keep their qualifying hopes alive. Chile are in urgent need of points and will be forced to go all out against Brazil.

Brazil vs Chile prediction: Selecao to claim the win
Key statistics
- Brazil has kept a clean sheet in each of their last four home matches against Chile.
- Selecao have won their last four home games against La Roja.
- Over 2.5 goals have been scored in three of their last five clashes.
Correct score prediction: Brazil 3-0 Chile
This upcoming clash between Brazil and Chile looks like a tough challenge for the visitors and we are predicting a 3-0 win for the Selection based on their outstanding attacking options and their dominant home record against the Red One.
Even though Brazil has already secured qualification, their squad is full of quality players eager to impress and entertain the home fans. Chile, on the other hand, have been struggling and their recent form suggests they may find it difficult to cope with Brazil’s attack. Past meetings have often produced goals and with Brazil’s firepower, we expect them to secure a comfortable and convincing victory.
Pre-match odds and win probability: Brazil are clear favourite
- Home: 2/9 (1.22) – 81.82%
- Draw: 19/4 (5.75) – 17.39%
- Away: 12/1 (13.00) – 7.69%

When looking at the odds for this game, Carlo Ancelotti’s side are clearly seen as the stronger side. They are given 1.22 odds and an 81.82% chance as favourites, thanks to their excellent home form and attacking quality.
5.75 (17.39%) for a draw suggests there is still a fair chance that both teams could cancel each other out and share the points. On the other hand, 13.00 (7.69%) for Nicolas Cordova’s team shows they are viewed as the underdogs, with only a small chance of causing an upset against Brazil.
Most recent head-to-head: Brazil unbeaten in last five meetings
The history between Brazil and Chile strongly favours Ancelotti’s men, especially in recent years. In their last six meetings, Brazil has come out on top five times, scoring 11 goals while only conceding three.
This dominant record not only shows Brazil’s superiority on the pitch but also gives them a big edge going into this match. Chile has not beaten Brazil since 2015, which underlines just how difficult this fixture has been for them and the tough task they face once again.

Brazil preview: Two players out for Selecao
Ancelotti will have to manage without a couple of key players going into this match. Joelinton is sidelined with a groin injury and is expected to return by mid-September 2025, while Alex Sandro is also out with a calf injury and should be back around the same time. Their absence reduces in the team will be missed, but Brazil still has plenty of quality options to cover these gaps.
Predicted lineup: Alisson (GK), Beraldo, Vanderson, Alexsandro, Marquinhos, Bruno Guimaraes, Casemiro, Raphinha, Cunha, Martinelli & Vinicius
- 11.06.25 – Brazil 1 – 0 Paraguay
- 06.06.25 – Ecuador 0 – 0 Brazil
- 26.03.25 – Argentina 4 – 1 Brazil
- 21.03.25 – Brazil 2 – 1 Colombia
- 20.11.24 – Brazil 1 – 1 Uruguay
Chile preview: Few players to miss clash
Chile will be without Benjamin Kuscevic for this match, as the defender is sidelined with a thigh injury. He is expected to return in early September 2025. His absence could slightly weaken Chile’s defensive options, especially against Brazil’s strong attacking lineup.
Predicted lineup: Corte (GK), Hormazabal, Lichnovsky, Fernandez, Suazo, Echeverria, Assadi, Loyola, Cepeda, Sanchez & Osorio
- 10.06.25 – Bolivia 2 – 0 Chile
- 06.06.25 – Chile 0 – 1 Argentina
- 26.03.25 – Chile 0 – 0 Ecuador
- 21.03.25 – Paraguay 1 – 0 Chile
- 09.02.25 – Chile 6 – 1 Panama
Player to watch: Vinicius Jr.
One key player to keep an eye on for Brazil is Vinícius Jr. The forward scored in their last match against Paraguay, underlining his sharp form and importance to the team.
With his pace, skill and ability to score in big moments, Vinícius will once again be a major threat in Brazil’s attack and could play a decisive role in this game.
