Currently, the team led by Dorival Júnior sits in fifth place in the standings with 10 points, eight behind leaders Argentina and just one point ahead of the first team outside the qualification zone, Bolivia. More than the results themselves, the team’s performances have not been convincing.
However, this FIFA window presents an almost perfect opportunity to change the scenario, as Brazil will face Chile and Peru, the two weakest teams in the qualifiers so far.
Chile is currently second to last with 5 points and only 1 victory, and they are coming off a defeat to Bolivia at home—the first win for the Bolivians away from home in 57 years. Peru finds itself in an even worse situation, sitting at the bottom of the table with just 3 points out of 24 contested, with the team coached by Jorge Fossati yet to win a match in the competition.
Dorival Júnior’s strategy is to use the speed of his forward players to press the Chilean defense and reduce the available spaces. For this match, Brazil is expected to line up with: Ederson, Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães, and Abner; André and Lucas Paquetá; Savinho, Raphinha, Rodrygo, and Igor Jesus.
