Brazil Women and Chile Women lock horns in a friendly on Sunday (July 2). The game will serve as the Brazilians' final preparatory fixture before the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.
Brazil have not been in action since a 2-1 win over Germany in a friendly in April. Tamires and Alu Borges scored first first-half goals to give the South Americans a comfortable two-goal lead before Jule Brand scored a late consolation for Germany.
Chile, meanwhile, were last in action in February against Haiti in an intercontinental FIFA Women's World Cup qualifier. Melchie Dumonay scored a brace for the Haitians, while Maria Rojas' late strike was not enough to end her nation's quest to qualify for the Mundial.
Brazil qualified as 2022 Copa America winners and are in Group F alongside Panama, France and Jamaica.

Brazil Women vs Chile Women Prediction
Brazil have fallen off from the standards of the previous decades of Marta and Cristiane's heyday. However, As Canarinhas still have reasonable expectations to make significant inroads into the later stages in Australia and New Zealand.
The South American champions will want to head to the tournament on a winning note. A friendly against a team they're yet to lose against represents a perfect opportunity for that.
Chile, meanwhile, have nothing except pride to play for, but the significant difference in quality could be their undoing. Brazil should claim a comfortable win.
Prediction: Brazil 2-0 Chile
