The international break features a set of World Cup qualifiers this week as Chile lock horns with Dorival Junior's Brazil side in a crucial CONMEBOL clash at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martinez Pradanos on Thursday. Both teams have been inconsistent this year and have a point to prove going into this game.
Chile vs Brazil Preview
Brazil are in fifth place in the CONMEBOL qualification standings and have not been at their best in recent months. The Selecao slumped to a damaging 1-0 defeat at the hands of Paraguay in their previous game and will need to prove their mettle this week.
Chile, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the qualification table and have struggled over the past year. The home side suffered a shock 2-1 defeat against Bolivia last month and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.
