Predictions for the 2022 FIFA World Cup South American Qualifiers
Green is adamant that Brazil (-110) will defeat Chile on Thursday and maintain its winning streak. Although the squad is missing nine players, it still has many stars. Brazil’s star player Neymar is still outstanding, while Casemiro and Marquinhos are solid in the middle with Brazil holding the back. Alisson and Ederson, the top goalkeepers in Chile, are both absent. However, Chile has not scored in any of its last four matches.
Chile lost 1-0 to Brazil in the Copa America match last week. It has not scored more than one goal in seven consecutive international matches. Brazil scored at least twice in five out of six qualifying matches. After its Copa America loss to Argentina, the Selecao is keen to return to work and begin a new run. Its 13-game winning streak (12-1-0) has ended. Green stated that Brazil could win the game even with key players absent.
