Prediction: 2-0
Peru
Estadio Olimpico Nilton Santos will host Group B clash between Brazil and Peru. The Selecao kicked off their Copa America campaign with a routine 3-0 win over Venezuela, and they are favourites to win their second group game as well. Brazil boss Tite can count on key players for Friday’s game, and we predict that the tournament hosts will give fans yet another reason for celebration. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be PSG superstar Neymar, who opened his goal-scoring account in the victory over Venezuela.
Flamengo attacker Gabigol is pushing for a start after finding the net in the Copa America opener. La Blanquirroja, on the other hand, are eager to impress in their first game of the tournament. Jefferson Farfan has been ruled out with injury, and, in his absence, a man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Serie A attacker Gianluca Lapadula. Anyhow, upsetting Brazil in Rio de Janeiro is easier said than done.
