Brazil vs Peru, World Cup Qualifiers 2020, Match Prediction

Peru welcomes Brazil in a FIFA World Cup Qualifier fixture at the Estadio Nacional de Lima on Tuesday

Match Timings: Oct 14, 5:30 AM 

Team Preview 

Peru and Brazil will be squaring off in the World Cup qualifier game after 2019’s Copa America Cup Final. Peru started their qualifying season with a 2-2- draw against Paraguay in Asuncion. Ricardo Gareca's side needs to play out of their skin to defeat Brazil and they’re lacking in both attack and defence. Raul Ruidiaz has been a pretty convincing player and his performance will definitely impact Peru’s attack in the home game. 

Brazil kicked off their campaign with a 5-0 win over Bolivia at the Corinthians Arena, courtesy of the brace from Marquinhos and Philippe Coutinho. For Brazil, Liverpool’s Firmino is back along with Neymar and Coutinho who are in fabulous form. Brazil has an upper hand in this away fixture and they have lost five times against the Peruvians out of 47 encounters between both sides. The most recent game was played in Lima, where Luis Abram’s 85th-minute strike gave Peru a 1-0 victory over Brazil.
