Brazil vs Peru Predictions
Brazil should make it two wins from two in a potentially low-scoring encounter in Brasilia.
A home win with under 3.5 goals is my only choice at the Arena BRB Mané Garrincha.
Brazil won 16 of their last 18 home matches (World Cup qualifiers)
Brazil have seen under 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 8 matches (World Cup qualifiers)
Brazil won 8 of their last 9 matches against Peru
Peru have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 3 matches against Brazil
Peru lost 7 of their last 10 away matches (World Cup qualifiers)

Head to Head
Since the start of the century, Brazil and Peru have met 19 times, with Brazil extending their head-to-head advantage to 14 wins to Peru's two, after a 1-0 victory in Lima last year.
Brazil Form
Brazil secured a massive victory in Chile on Thursday as Luiz Henrique's last-gasp goal secured a vital 2-1 win for the Selecao.
Dorival Júnior's side lost four of five previous World Cup qualifiers over the past year before their much-needed win in Santiago.
While less than impressive in recent away matches, Brazil remain a force in home World Cup qualifiers. The Selecao are unbeaten in 47 of 48 home qualifiers since 2000 ( W37, D10, L1).
Brazil Squad & Team News
Goalkeepers: Ederson, Weverton, Bento
Defenders: Marquinhos, Danilo (captain), Alex Telles, Gabriel Magalhães, Lucas Beraldo, Fabrício Bruno, Vanderson, Abner
Midfielders: Lucas Paquetá, Bruno Guimarães, Andreas Pereira, André, Gerson
Forwards: Rodrygo, Raphinha, Gabriel Martinelli, Endrick, Savinho, Luiz Henrique, Igor Jesus
Under-pressure Head coach Dorival Junior will likely make alterations to his selection on Tuesday. Lucas Paqueta and match-winner Luis Henrique are both tipped to come into the first XI.
Botafogo forward Igor Jesus should keep his place in the selection after netting the equaliser on his international debut in Santiago.
Peru Form
Peru broke their eight-game winless streak in the World Cup qualification campaign with a surprise 1-0 win against Uruguay last week. Miguel Araujo's late goal secured a much-needed victory for La Blanquirroja.
On the road, the Peruvians have a poor recent record in World Cup qualifying fixtures.Since September 2021, Peru haev lost seven of their last ten away qualifiers, while failing to score in all seven losses.
Despite Thursday's victory in Lima, Jorge Fossati's side remain six points short of the qualification places.

Head coach Fossati could keep faith with the same XI that edged past Uruguay last week.
