Currently in fourth place, Brazil has the chance to close out 2024 in second place, behind only Argentina. To do so, they need to win both of their matches and hope for a slip-up from Colombia, who will play Uruguay and Ecuador away and at home, respectively.
After victories against Peru and Chile in the last FIFA match window, the national team has started to see brighter days and can now focus on climbing the standings. However, this doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. With 16 points, Dorival Júnior’s team is just three points ahead of Paraguay and Ecuador, and further slip-ups could once again place them under pressure.
Even reaching first place is possible, but it seems utopian at this moment. This is because the current leaders, Argentina, have more accessible fixtures in this FIFA window, playing Paraguay away and Peru at La Bombonera. Additionally, Argentina has more than double Brazil’s goal difference — 14 to 6. BBscore football, your dependable source for match updates.
