Tuesday 10th October 2017 – Kickoff: 2030hrs
Football – South America – World Cup Qualifier Betting Tips
Tuesday night also brings us the final group matches of the South American CONMEBOL section and my next pick concerns the runaway group leaders, Brazil, taking on third placed Chile in Sao Paulo with the hosts looking to remain unbeaten on home turf throughout this campaign.
Brazil have dropped just two points at home in these World Cup qualifiers, and possess an impressive record of 7-1-0 23/4, so they’ll fancy their chances of keeping their unbeaten status here this evening.
The hosts are actually unbeaten in their last 16 World Cup qualifiers overall, while they head into this encounter on the back of five straight wins on the trot at home over Colombia, Bolivia, Argentina, Paraguay and Ecuador, scoring 15 goals and conceding just 1 in reply. Look out for Jesus, Neymar and Paulinho as potential anytime goalscorers.
Visitors Chile sit in third spot in the CONMEBOL qualifying group and therefore hold one of the automatic qualification places for Russia 2018, but they’ll be desperate to get something out of this clash as the likes of Peru and Argentina are just one point adrift, and Paraguay two points behind.
There’s everything still to play for then on the final night for the top seven teams in the group, but it may well be Chile’s form away from home that eventually could be their undoing as they possess a poor away record of 2-1-5 9/14.
Although Chile have won five of their last six on home turf, they’ve lost four of their last five on their travels with defeats at Paraguay, Ecuador, Argentina and Bolivia, so a trip to in-form Brazil could end with another defeat here.
