Brazil became the first S. American team to book their place and they are guaranteed to top the section, sitting a full ten points clear of Uruguay who occupy the second position, having collected 38 points from 17 fixtures. The former World Cup winners were beaten by Chile in the group’s opening game in October 2015, but have won all but 5 of their last 16, including a memorable 3-0 triumph over traditional football enemies Argentina.

Chile have won eight of their 17 qualifying games and the Copa America champions currently occupy the third spot. They are level on points with fourth-placed Colombia and are just a point ahead of both fifth-placed Peru and sixth-placed Argentina, who face eliminated Ecuador a few hours earlier.

As our Brazil vs Chile preview and soccer predictions detail, the visitors need to avoid defeat to book at least a playoff spot, barring a seven-goal margin of victory for Paraguay over Venezuela.

Our Brazil vs Chile predictions evaluate the chances of Chile keeping their World Cup hopes alive.

Brazil vs Chile Prediction and Betting Advice

Our Brazil vs Chile betting tips highlight the fact that Chile’s chances of qualifying for Russia 2018 via the World Cup Qualification, CONMEBOL group are in the balance. While Chile boosted their hopes by eliminating Ecuador with a 2-1 success, Brazil created plenty of chances in the rarefied air of La Paz but were held to a goalless draw by Bolivia last week. Yet for the most part, they already looked as if they were on the plane to Russia.

It is possible that Brazil will make a few changes, depending on the result of the Ecuador vs Argentina clash a little earlier. Still, there will be plenty of players out to impress Brazil boss Tete, who has plenty of depth in his squad. And it worth remembering that Brazil have never lost a World Cup qualifier at home.

Goals look a formality, as Chile may have to play to win. Six of the last eight meetings have produced three or more goals in total and that trend could be upheld, as Chile are shaky at the back and have conceded at least once in their last six games.

Brazil may have won the group, but they look a team full of goals and can play on the break. Over 2.5 goals is a fair percentage call, given the trends and 10Bet appear to offer decent odds for that to transpire.

Brazil have a great record against Copa America champions Chile but have drawn their last two qualifying games and have scored just three times in their last three games. Tete will expect a better return after a couple of below-par outings but Chile will set their stall out not to get beaten, depending on the result of the Ecuador vs Argentina game. Brazil have only gained a first-half advantage in eight of their last 16 qualifying games and have largely come on strong in the second half. In their last nine group wins, they were level at the interval.

There are a plethora of Brazil vs Chile bets available and much will depend on what Chile’s mindset will be. Plenty points to a cage first 45 minutes and history say Brazil are unlikely to lose and the odds favour a home win. The draw at half-time and Brazil to be leading at full-time could be rewarding, particularly at the odds offered by Ladbrokes.
