The FIFA World Cup qualifiers feature another match between two CONMEBOL teams this week as Peru lock horns with an impressive Brazil side in an important encounter at the Arena BRB Mane Garrincha on Tuesday. Both teams have been inconsistent over the past year and will want to win this game.
Brazil vs Peru Preview
Peru are in ninth place in the CONMEBOL qualification standings and have struggled to make their mark so far this year. The Peruvian outfit stunned Uruguay with a 1-0 victory last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Brazil, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the qualification table and have blown hot and cold in recent months. The Selecao defeated Chile by a narrow 2-1 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
