⁠Brazil vs Peru Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Seleção are undefeated in their last five meetings against Peru.

The round ten action of the Conmebol World Cup Qualifiers will take place between South American giants Brazil and mighty Peru. It is a brilliant chance for both nations to finish the October qualifiers on a winning note before the next set begins in November. 

Brazil, considered among the powerhouses of world football, have somewhat faded in the last couple of years with their performance looking far from convincing from what we used to see. However, Dorival Junior for now has somehow managed to turn the table as the Seleção find themselves in the fourth position in the overall standings. A win here will further see them maintain a strong grip on the table before the next set of qualifiers takes place in November.

Meanwhile, Peru on the other hand pulled a surprise in the last game against the imposing Uruguay outfit who were in red-hot form before that game. Jorge Fossati and his team need to be credited for not just preventing them from scoring but also registering a crucial win over them. This win not only gave the team a glimmer of hope but also boosted the confidence within the squad.

They now will aim to climb up the standings in the next matches. Peru are currently languishing in the ninth position in the overall standings.

Players to Watch

Raphinha (Brazil)

Raphinha is arguably in the best form of his life after making a strong start to the new season. There is a sense of confidence in his play now and credit should be given to Hansi Flick who pulled a masterstroke by making him the skipper of the Barcelona team. His numbers speak volumes of his contribution to the team with six goals already from 11 matches while also laying on another five assists in the process.  

Miguel Araujo (Peru) 

The Portland Timbers star defender had a wonderful game at the heart of defence for Peru against Uruguay. He pulled a defensive masterstroke to deny the likes of Darwin Nunez, and Federico Valverde from scoring. 

It was a complete performance from the veteran who racked up impressive numbers in the game, also scoring the only goal. His stats include 100% tackle success, four clearances, one crucial block, and two ball recoveries to cap off a brilliant performance.

Injury & Team News

As for Peru, they have a fully fit squad to choose from except Gianluca Lapadula. The coach may field the same eleven that secured a historic win over Uruguay in the last game.

Match Prediction for ⁠Brazil vs Peru

The Selecao are the clear favourites for the three points here considering the form they are in. However, they now face a difficult match against a stubborn Peru side who are coming into this match on the back of a strong defensive show against Uruguay. Nevertheless, we expect Brazil to edge out the visitors with the quality of the individuals they have in the squad. 

Prediction: ⁠Brazil 2-1 Peru
