Chile will entertain Venezuela at Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos in the CONMEBOL FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday. The hosts are at the bottom of the standings with six points from 11 games. La Vinotinto have fared a little better and are in seventh place with 12 points.
La Roja arrested their losing streak in the World Cup qualifiers after five games last week, playing out a goalless draw against Peru. They failed to score for the seventh time in the qualifying campaign and will look to return to goalscoring ways here.
The visitors extended their winless streak in the competition to seven games last week, holding Brazil to a 1-1 draw at home. Telasco Segovia made an instant impact and equalized just seconds after being subbed on after the first-half break. It was also his first goal for the national team, with Jefferson Savarino providing the assist.
Brazil were awarded a penalty in the 60th minute following a VAR check but Vinicius Junior failed to convert from the spot. Alexander González was sent off in the 89th minute and will serve a suspension here.
