Chile come into this game on the back of a 1-0 loss to Tite's Brazil in the quarter-final of Copa America 2021. A goal from Lyon midfielder Lucas Paqueta ensured victory for Brazil, who had Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus sent off in the second-half.
Brazil, on the other hand, lost 1-0 to Lionel Scaloni's Argentina in the final of Copa America 2021. A first-half goal from Paris Saint-Germain forward Angel Di Maria sealed the deal for Argentina.

Chile vs Brazil Predicted XI
Chile Predicted XI (5-3-2): Claudio Bravo, Mauricio Isla, Guillermo Maripan, Gary Medel, Sebastian Vegas, Eugenio Mena, Arturo Vidal, Erick Pulgar, Charles Aranguiz, Eduardo Vargas, Jean Meneses
Brazil Predicted XI (4-3-3): Weverton, Dani Alves, Marquinhos, Eder Militao, Alex Sandro, Lucas Paqueta, Casemiro, Bruno Guimaraes, Gabriel Barbosa, Neymar, Vinicius Junior
Chile vs Brazil Prediction
Chile have some hugely experienced players, with the likes of Claudio Bravo, Gary Medel, Mauricio Isla, Arturo Vidal and Eduardo Vargas having all earned more than 100 caps for the national team. Their experience and quality has often come handy before, and that could be the case this time around as well.
Brazil, on the other hand, will be without some talented Premier League players this time around. They will rely on Neymar's magic, while young stars like Lucas Paqueta and Eder Militao could cement their place in the first XI with some good performances.
Brazil should edge past Chile here.
Prediction: Chile 0-1 Brazil
