The hosts started the CONMEBOL qualification process strongly, but have stalled since. They go into this latest round of games in eighth place in the table. Their opponents, meanwhile, have not had a great campaign by their standards, losing four matches already. With his position under scrutiny, a tricky away trip is not exactly what Brazil boss Dorival Júnior needs. There is even speculation that Pep Guardiola could take over.

We know that the visitors boast huge amounts of talent, not least Vinicius Junior, and can blow past anyone on their day. However, their opponents have shown themselves able to compete with the best and managed to claim a 1-1 draw with Argentina recently. They have stars like Luca Paqueta and also made it to the quarter-finals of the Copa America, so are not to be taken lightly.
Pressure on Brazil coach Dorival Júnior was eased in October after two wins in qualifying over Chile and Peru. And Vinícius wasn’t on duty in either of them.
Fans will pay close attention to the winger’s performances against tough defenses at Venezuela and later against Uruguay, as he tries to reproduce for Brazil the same decisive performances for Real Madrid.
Brazil once again will not have Neymar, who picked up a muscular injury earlier this month. There’s no big name as a center forward because Rodrygo is injured, too, and Endrick was not chosen. Vinícius will likely have to link up effectively with Raphinha and Luiz Henrique.
Vinícius will face two teams that are in a degree of turmoil. Venezuela hasn’t won any of its last six qualifiers, and Uruguay coach Marcelo Bielsa is still under fire from former players for his handling of the team.
Two wins for Brazil won’t secure the team a spot at the next World Cup just yet, but they will give fans and players some reassurance after a turbulent year.
