Our prediction for the match Brazil vs Peru

The "Pentacampeões" have been struggling lately. A year ago, under Fernando Diniz, they started strong with two wins but then managed only one draw and suffered three defeats. In 2024, Dorival Junior took over as head coach. While the team found some success in friendly matches, their Copa América campaign was less impressive, with just one victory before being knocked out in the quarterfinals by Uruguay on penalties after a 0-0 draw. In September, they narrowly won 1-0 against Ecuador but followed that up with a 1-0 loss to Paraguay.

The "Incas" have sharply declined after two challenging cycles. They failed to secure a single victory last fall in the qualifiers (managing only a couple of draws and suffering four defeats) or this summer in Copa América, where they recorded a goalless draw with Chile and two scoreless losses. Fossati's team did manage a 1-1 draw against Colombia at home in September, but they faltered in their next match, losing away to Ecuador.

Heading into this window, "The Seleção" lost key players like Alisson, Militão, and Vinícius at the last moment, with Arana, Bremer, Yan Couto, Casemiro, and Pedro already sidelined, and Neymar still recovering. Despite these absences, they showed resilience against Chile, scoring late in both halves to secure a strong-willed victory. Meanwhile, the "Incas" will be without Cueva, Yotún, and Lapadula, as well as Trauco and a few other regulars. In their match against Uruguay, they defended well and managed to score at the very end to secure a narrow win.
