Brazil vs Peru prediction: SOUTH AMERICA: World Championship – Qualification betting tips on match 2024-10-15 00:45.
[p]Brazil boss Dorival JĂșnior received a much-needed boost from his side as they came from behind last time out to score an 89th-minute winner and beat Chile 2-1 in CONMEBOL World Cup qualification action. That was just their third win from their past eight matches (D3, L2), shedding light on why pressure has been building on JĂșnior. Injuries to key players in that period has given the manager some grace, yet that wonât last long if his team are unable to build momentum. [/p]
[p]Sitting fourth coming into the round means Brazil do hold a place in the automatic promotion spots and are on course to continue a proud record of featuring in every World Cup finals to date. That said, their cushion is just two points to Venezuela in seventh, so they could do with a win here, and are boosted by a current five-match winning streak in H2Hs with Peru. [/p]
[p]That record highlights the scale of the challenge awaiting the visiting side who sit second bottom of the CONMEBOL standings with just one win to their name (D3, L5). That victory did come in their last match against Uruguay, as Miguel Araujo’s 88th-minute strike not only secured three crucial points but also continued an intriguing trend which has seen each of the last seven goals scored or conceded by Peru arrive in the second half of their matches. [/p]
[p]Peru are sure to travel to BrasĂlia with more confidence than they would have seven days ago, yet itâs hard to overlook that they rarely travel well. Their only win from their previous seven trips came against El Salvador (D1, L5), while they failed to even score a goal in five of the previous six matches within that run. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: It was Luiz Henrique who stole Brazilian headlines for grabbing the winner against Chile, but Igor da Cruz got them on their way with his second opening team goal from as many matches, having also scored the first and only goal for club side Botafogo before the break. Araujoâs goal made the headlines for Peru against Uruguay, yet his defensive work shouldnât be overlooked for club and country, as his teams have conceded just once across his previous three appearances. [/p]
[p]Hot streak: Peru have failed to score in each of the last four H2Hs.[/p]
