Brazil is otherwise hoping to get some much-needed boost up as they ready themselves to face Peru at the estimates Brasília on Tuesday in a Conmebol World Cup group stage qualifier. The Brazil team had a very poor start to the October international window but came from behind to beat Chile on Thursday only after going down 2-0 after only two minutes. The win lifted Brazil to fourth place at the end of qualifying and, after a stunning and humiliating loss to Paraguay in September.
However, the Selecao has been plagued by injuries with Alisson and Vinicius Jr. being among the big names out of the team. Brazil will need to negotiate these absences to continue their charge for World Cup qualification.
Meanwhile, Peru is also having their fair share of struggles and though they lost their last match, the win against Uruguay brought them up from the bottom of the chart. It brought back the hope of qualification for the team and they will be all out to prove more against a Brazil team that has looked sometimes vulnerable in some of their recent matches.
This match is one in which both teams need the points and Brazil has a home advantage and just more talent on their side. However, a win is imperative for Brazil, as this will keep the team’s qualification campaign running smoothly, on the other hand, the Peruvian might be dreaming of a huge upset to rise higher in the standings table.

Brazil vs Peru lineups, team news
Brazil faces Peru in a critical World Cup qualifier with several key players missing due to injury and suspension. Brazil will be without Alisson, Vinicius Jr., Neymar, and others, but they still have plenty of depth. Meanwhile, Peru is also dealing with absences, including Gianluca Lapadula and veteran leaders like Paolo Guerrero and Christian Cueva.
Brazil Predicted XI (4-3-3):
- GK: Ederson
- RB: Danilo
- CB: Marquinhos
- CB: Gabriel
- LB: Abner
- CM: Gerson
- CM: Andreas Pereira
- CM: Bruno Guimaraes
- RW: Raphinha
- ST: Igor Jesus
- LW: Rodrygo
Brazil will be hoping to continue with the same form they showed after they bounced back to beat Chile. While stars such as Raphinha and Rodrygo will be useful for Brazil, arguably the first-choice goalkeeper Ederson will be required with Allison being sidelined.

- GK: Pedro Gallese
- RB: Miguel Araujo
- CB: Carlos Zambrano
- CB: Luis Abram
- LB: Alexander Callens
- CM: Andy Polo
- CM: Oliver Sonne
- CM: Jesus Castillo
- RW: Sergio Peña
- ST: Alex Valera
- LW: Edison Flores
Peru arrives in the match on form but winner against Uruguay, and they will need Gallece in the goalpost and Flores upfront to make an upset against Brazil.
Lead Absences for Brazil:
- Alisson (injured)
- Vinicius Jr. (injured)
- Neymar (ACL tear)
- Lucas Paqueta (suspended)
Lead Absences for Peru:
- Gianluca Lapadula (injured)
- Paolo Guerrero, Andre Carrillo, Christian Cueva
Brazil vs Peru Prediction
Brazil stands as clear favorite for this initial World Cup qualifying match-up, however, as evident most recently by their vigorous and rather polished defensive display, Peru is no pushover team. Even though there are teams that will be missing key players Brazil has depth and quality players that should otherwise see them victory.
Depending on which Brazil team shows up, the match should be rather close, as Peru demonstrated against strong sides in recent years; however, with players like Rodrygo and Raphinha attacking the Peruvian defense should have a hard time.
Prediction: Brazil 2-1 Peru.
