Prediction: 2-1
Chile
Brazil will look to cement top position in the South America World Cup qualifiers when they take on Chile, who are fighting hard to secure a top-five finish. A Selecao rolled over Paraguay 4-0 in February, but seeing that Argentina are still breathing down their neck, we are positive that Tite’s men are going to take Friday’s clash seriously. PSG ace Neymar is back from injury, while Man City striker Gabriel Jesus has been left out of the squad.
Arsenal rising star Gabriel Martinelli has earned his first call-up. La Roja, on the other hand, recorded a very important 3-2 win over Bolivia in their last qualifying match. Chile aim to climb to top five in the standings, but spoiling Brazil’s party at Maracana is easier said than done. As for the visiting side, Blackburn attacker Ben Brereton should miss out with injury, while Arturo Vidal returns to the squad.
