Chile
After dropping two points in their last group game against Ecuador, Brazil will be looking to return to winnings ways when they face Chile in the Copa America quarter-finals. Head coach Tite rested entire starting XI in the draw with Ecuador, but he is going to field the best possible side against la Roja, with all Neymar, Richarlison, Casemiro, and Alex Sandro pushing for a start. Both Caio and Felipe are likely to miss the game through injuries.
Chile, on the other hand, have registered only one win at the tournament so far, but they did well to share the spoils with both Argentina and Uruguay in the group stages. Martin Lasarte’s men are eager to shock the tournament hosts at Estadio Olimpico Nilton Santos, but they will have a mountain to climb in Saturday’s clash. Considering that key attacker Alexis Sanchez remains on the sidelines through injury, home win should definitely be considered.
