Brazil vs. Chile 3/24/22 CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifications Soccer Pick, Predictions, and Odds

Brazil and Chile are clashing at Estadio de Maracana in round 17 of the CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifications. Brazil is at the top of the table in these qualifications, they are the best offensive team, and they are also the best defensive team. Chile is outside the World Cup zone, but with two games left, they have a decent chance at qualifying.

Brazil has 39 points in the qualifications so far, they have qualified for the World Cup, and they have nothing to play for in this game. Of the 32 goals Brazil has scored, Neymar has scored 7 goals. Firmino, Richarlison, and Rapinha have added 3 goals each. In the last game of these qualifications, Brazil is playing against Bolivia, and I’m pretty sure Brazil will end up at the top of the table. Brazil’s roster looks really well, they have the depth on every position, but they have been very inconsistent so far. The good news for Brazil is they are pretty much healthy, and some of their players are in good form, some of them. Since they have qualified for the World Cup, I think we can expect a bit of a mixed lineup here, but still strong enough to beat Chile.

Chile is not doing so well in these qualifications, they have been struggling a lot with scoring goals, and their defense was far from solid. With 19 points, Chile is now in 6^th place, which is 2 points less than Peru and 3 points less than Uruguay. If Chile wants to have a shot at qualifying for the World Cup, they need 2 wins in their last 2 games, but considering how badly they have been playing, I don’t see it happening. Sanchez is the leading goalscorer for Chile with 5 goals, while Vidal has added 4 goals. If Chile gets a positive result here, they will be facing Uruguay in their last game, but at least that one will be at home. Overall, I think Chile is a solid team with some good players, but they will need to play a hell of a game to get a positive result here.

Because Chile needs a win, they will attack here, and I think they might score, but we will see if they can defend. I will take btts here because Brazil is the better team here and the home team, but I think they will be a bit relaxed in this game.
