Brazil vs Peru Preview
Brazil
Brazil has suffered four defeats in the current qualification for the 2026 World Cup and is in danger of not qualifying for the final round of the tournament. Therefore, an away win over Chile in the last match was very important for Dorival Júnior’s team; otherwise, they risked dropping to 6th or 7th place in the table.
In the second minute, the Brazilians conceded a goal from Eduardo Vargas, and it seemed that there was a real risk of losing the match.

In the first half, the guests created a minimal number of dangerous chances, which created even more psychological pressure on them. Nevertheless, Brazil scored in the first added minute at the end of the first half.
In the second half of the match, the Brazilians struggled to score goals, but they were able to launch quick attacks occasionally.
Dorival Júnior’s team scored the winning goal towards the end of the match, but the overall quality of play was poor. With a performance like this, Brazil is still at high risk of being left out and watching the 2026 World Cup on TV.

In the upcoming match against Peru, Brazil will start as favourites to secure three points on home soil. Although Vinícius Júnior will not be available to help the team, Savinho and Rodrygo are capable of providing effective dribbling on the flanks. By the way, Savinho was one of the best players in Brazil’s squad in the last match against Chile.
Peru
Peru unexpectedly secured their first victory in the qualifiers by defeating Uruguay on their home turf with a score of 1-0. Jorge Fossati’s team played very solidly in defence, preventing their opponents from creating dangerous opportunities.
Additionally, the Peruvians utilized many diagonal passes from flank to flank and frequently crossed the ball into the opponent’s penalty area during their offensive plays.

They played in a straightforward manner, creating a few chances but managing to put significant pressure on the opponents’ defence, eventually netting in the 88th minute through Miguel Araujo’s efforts.
At the same time, it’s worth noting that Uruguay displayed perhaps the lowest quality of play during Marcelo Bielsa’s tenure, undoubtedly aiding Peru in securing three points in this match.
But we shouldn’t forget that they have lost in their last three away matches with a total score of 0-5. The defeats were against Chile, Bolivia, and Ecuador – not exactly top-tier opponents.

They also had a draw with Paraguay away with a 0-0 score. This indicates the significant difficulties that the Peruvians face in away matches, as they create very few scoring opportunities and have yet to score at least one goal.
In home matches, Peru compensates for deficiencies in defence and attack with high-intensity play, but this doesn’t work in away games.
Therefore, the Peruvians are major underdogs in the match against Brazil.
Bet hereBrazil vs Peru Prediction
- Pick: W1 (Brazil to win) And Total Under 4.5
- Odds: 1.47 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Brazil 2-0 Peru
The Brazilian national team faces several tough matches against Venezuela, Uruguay, Colombia, and Argentina. Therefore, it is very important for the hosts to secure a victory against Peru and earn three points.
Despite their attacking problems, Dorival Júnior’s team is the clear favourite for the match, but we shouldn’t expect more than four goals in this game.
Brazil is likely to win this match but with a minimal advantage over the opponent.
Brazil vs Peru Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Brazil. To Keep Clean Sheet
- Odds: 2.62 (22Bet)
The Brazilians have conceded nine goals in the current qualification, which is the eighth result in the table. However, in the match against Peru, who have scored only three goals in nine matches, Brazil will have a good chance to keep a clean sheet.
The hosts are expected to dominate and are not likely to allow the opponents to create dangerous moments near Ederson’s goal.
