Both sides are aware of the importance of the game as Brazil gets set to continue their CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers against Chile. The Seleção has never been in a better position and as it stands now it is fifth in the qualifiers table with three wins, one draw, and four losses from the first eight games.
All the same, Brazil is only one point from being out of the qualification zone as it is today. The last match that is yet to be played is the match in which Chile occupies the ninth position and needs to win.
La Roja has one of the worst campaigns in the World Cup qualifying round; it has only one win and five defeats until now and the Spanish team is in danger of failing to qualify for the FIFA World Cup third time in succession.
Facing an even bigger challenge is manager Ricardo Gareca who fully understands that to revive his team’s hopes of qualification then a win against Brazil is inevitable. As for this match, one can expect them to display mainly the characteristics of South American football especially the power and the tempo of the game. Any soccer fan will need to watch this encounter because both teams will be eager to secure the three points.

Players to Watch Out For:

He is now a veteran and he will be fully expected to captain the Chile midfield against Brazil – this makes him vital in this match. - Raphinha (Brazil):
