In the last game at home for the qualifiers, Brazil faces Chile this Thursday (04/09), at 21h30 (Brasília), in Maracanã, in Rio de Janeiro. The duel is valid for the 17th round of the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup and will be broadcast by Globo, SporTV and GE TV.
The selection is in third place of the qualifiers, with 25 points. There are 16 games, with seven wins, four draws and five losses.
Chile, on the other hand, is the qualifying lantern, with only ten points earned. The team no longer has a chance to play the 2026 World Cup.
Brazil’s lineup against Chile
Carlo Ancelotti had to make a series of cuts in the initial call of the Brazilian team. Joelinton, Alex Sandro, Vanderson and Matheus Cunha left the list due to physical problems. With that, Vitinho, Jean Lucas and Samuel Lino were the calls.
In addition, players like Vini Jr, Rodrygo and Neymar were not summoned by Anchelotti’s decision.
With this, Brazil must have a number of changes compared to the team that beat Paraguay in the last round of the qualifiers. Of the holders in that game, only six athletes can be again in the initial eleven – Alisson, Marquinhos, Casemiro, Bruno Guimarães, Martinelli and Raphinha.
Likely Brazil lineup: Alisson, Wesley, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães and Douglas Santos; Casemiro and Bruno Guimarães; Raphinha, Stephen, João Pedro and Gabriel Martinelli. Technical: Carlo Ancelotti.
