Brazil are taking on Chile in World Cup qualifying tonight.

This Brazilian side is on an impressive 33-game unbeaten streak in Conmebol qualifying and have already booked their spot at Qatar 2022, although they are still fighting for top spot with rivals Argentina in what is manager Tite’s final campaign in charge of the Selecao.

Chile are three points off the top four automatic qualifying places so a surprise three points here would be a welcome boost. But Martin Lasarte’s men need to overturn the odds – they have won only one of their past 18 matches against Brazil.
