Team Analysis
Brazil is gaining momentum in the World Cup qualifiers, having recently secured a 2-1 victory over Chile. This win showcased their resilience, as they overcame an initial deficit with goals from Igor Jesus and Luis Henrique. Currently sitting fourth in the standings, Brazil is eager to climb higher and potentially surpass Uruguay. With a solid defensive lineup anchored by Marquinhos and a potent attacking force even in the absence of Vinicius Junior, Brazil is well-positioned to continue their strong form against Peru.

Peru, meanwhile, comes into this match following their first win in the qualifiers— a 1-0 victory over Uruguay, secured by a late goal from Miguel Araujo. Despite this, Peru has struggled overall, ending a four-match winless streak with this result. Under Jorge Fossati, the team has been inconsistent, and they will face a formidable challenge against Brazil, especially given their historical difficulties against the five-time world champions.

Head-to-Head
Brazil has dominated the head-to-head record against Peru, winning 18 of the 24 previous encounters, with three draws. Brazil has also won the last five meetings, including a 1-0 victory in their most recent clash in September.

Prediction
Brazil is expected to secure a comfortable win over Peru, with predictions pointing towards a Brazil victory to nil. They are anticipated to score multiple goals, potentially covering a -2 handicap. Given their attacking depth and defensive solidity, Brazil is likely to dominate both halves of the match.

Pick: Brazil -2
