Pre-match information
The scene is changing, the 2026 World Cup qualifiers will be halfway through after the first round of matches of FIFA Days in October. It is easy to see the difference at this time is that the Brazilian team is in the middle of the rankings, 8 points behind the leader, 7 points ahead of the bottom team.
Like previous qualifiers, this position is only for the play-off spot. However, with the change in the number of teams participating in the final round in the next 2 years, South America has 6 official spots and 1 play-off spot.
In fact, Brazil is currently only 7th place behind Paraguay and 8th place behind Bolivia with 1 point.
Winning only 3 and losing 4 after 8 matches is unprecedented for Selecao in the history of qualifying rounds. With the absence of a series of important players in Chile's trip to Santiago, how to bring back 3 points?
In addition to having to make their own efforts, Selecao fans also want the home team to continue to face difficulties. Chile have not won 5 consecutive matches in the qualifying round (1 draw, 4 losses) and are second to last on the rankings.
But they will also see their spirit become more optimistic if they beat Brazil. At that time, the gap in points with the opponent was only 2, before visiting another tough opponent, Colombia, on October 16.
