Storylines
Chile: Chile are in action for the first time since their loss to Brazil over the summer and they are without a win in three matches in the qualifiers after already losing to Venezuela and Uruguay. Unless there is improvement this month against Brazil, Ecuador and Colombia, any dreams of Qatar are probably over.
Brazil: With six wins from six and Argentina up next, a win would set Brazil up nicely as they continue to cruise through qualification. With Peru at home after the Albiceleste, Tite’s men can realistically hope for nine points from a possible nine.
Prediction
A comfortable win for Brazil. With Neymar in need of minutes after reporting back to PSG unfit, expect him to push himself hard for these qualifiers. Pick: Chile 0, Brazil 3
