Prediction: 1-2
Brazil
Wednesday’s football game between Peru and Brazil will close round 2 of the South America World Cup qualifiers. The Selecao faced no difficulties in a 5-1 crushing of Bolivia in their opener and Neymar and Co. are seen as favourites to win their second group game as well. Real Madrid ace Rodrygo should keep his place in the starting XI after scoring a brace against La Verde, while his teammate Vinicius Junior has been ruled out with injury.
The Peruvians, on the other hand, defended well with ten men in a goalless draw with Paraguay, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the South American giants. Experienced Peru defender Luis Advincula is banned for the match, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the Brazilians. You should know that Brazil are eyeing their fifth consecutive win over Peru in all competitions.
