Peru vs Brazil: Clash of the Titans in CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifier

Record-Setting Neymar Leads Brazil into Battle

Last week, Neymar made history by becoming the all-time leading goal scorer in Brazil international history. With his 78th and 79th international goals, he surpassed the legendary Pele, adding another feather to his illustrious cap. Now, Neymar sets his sights on chasing another record – the global all-time assists record held by Landon Donovan of the United States, where he is just two assists shy. As Brazil travels to Peru for a CONMEBOL World Cup qualifier, Neymar’s individual achievements will carry the narrative for much of their qualifying journey.

Peru Aims to Avoid a Narrow Path to the World Cup

Peru began their 2026 World Cup qualification campaign with a lackluster 0-0 draw against Paraguay. Out-shot 19-5 and reduced to 10 men just before halftime, Peru could only hold on for dear life. While the road point is valuable, fans will be hoping for more signs of life to avoid a narrow path to the World Cup this time around.

Projected Lineups and Team News

Peru will be missing right-back Luis Advincula, who was sent off in their previous qualifying opener. In his absence, Aldo Corzo of Universitario de Deportes will step in. Head coach Juan Reynoso is expected to make changes up front, including a switch to a 4-3-3 formation. Captain Paolo Guerrero will lead the line, with Andy Polo and Andre Carrillo on the wings. Pedro Gallese, who impressed with six saves in the draw against Paraguay, will continue in goal for Peru.

On the other hand, new interim Brazil head coach Fernando Diniz made changes in his debut against Bolivia, but for this second qualifier, he sticks with the same starting lineup. Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior is sidelined due to injury, while Antony and Lucas Paqueta were withdrawn from the squad due to legal issues. Man City goalkeeper Ederson retains his place in goal, with Alisson remaining on the bench. Richarlison is deployed as the striker despite struggling in the previous match. Casemiro takes on the captain’s armband, replacing Marquinhos.

Betting Odds & Predictions

Brazil is the heavy favorite in this match after a dominant performance against Bolivia. Peru’s lackluster showing has diminished any hope of a home upset result. Neymar, in pursuit of the all-time international assists record, is expected to continue his goal-scoring form. Gabriel Jesus and Richarlison are also predicted to find the back of the net. Interestingly, despite his brace against Bolivia, Rodrygo is not regarded as one of the expected goal scorers for Brazil, according to bookmakers.

Here are the betting odds and lines for the match:
