Match forecast
Peru come into this match as a rejuvenated side. After spending time at the bottom of the table in their first six matches of the qualifiers, they have now rediscovered their form. They now sit four points away from third-placed Colombia. And considering the fact that they upset Brazil in their last meeting for the first time in 46 years, the hosts could be inspired to get all the three points at home. Despite Brazil’s lethal form in front of goal thanks to the dynamic duo of Neymar and Coutinho, Peru will be a hard team to beat at home.
