Brazil vs. Chile lineups: Predicted starting XI, team news, rosters, match details as Ancelotti's Selecao conclude World Cup qualifying

Coach Carlo Ancelotti plans an attacking lineup with four forwards in the final qualifier as Brazil looks to solidify its World Cup 2026 spot and test new players.

  • Brazil will host Chile at the Maracana Stadium on Thursday, September 4, 2025, in their penultimate 2026 World Cup qualifier.
  • Brazil secured their World Cup spot in June but struggled throughout qualifying, while Chile endured one of their worst campaigns and failed to qualify.
  • Chile’s interim manager Nicolas Cordova made a significant overhaul by excluding 13 players from the previous lineup, notably leaving out seasoned stars Vidal, Sanchez, and Aranguiz, and instead assembling a youthful and largely inexperienced team.
  • Brazil’s coach Carlo Ancelotti plans to field four forwards—Estevao, Gabriel Martinelli, Joao Pedro, and Raphinha—while key players like Neymar, Matheus Cunha, and Vinicius Junior are absent due to injury or rotation.
  • Brazil aims to end qualifying on a high note, maintaining their undefeated home record, while Chile seeks their first competitive goal and victory of 2025 amid difficult odds.
