With a capacity of more than 43,000 people, the National Stadium is not full tonight because Peru is still suffering punishment due to homophobic words from fans in the last qualifying round and is only allowed to occupy 75% of the stands. All ticket sales were sold out in about 3 hours. About 30 thousand fans are expected.

Starting lineup

Peru: Gallese, Corzo, Abram, Tapia, Trauco; Yotun, Wilder Cartagena, Marcos Lopez; Andy Polo, Carrillo, Guerrero.

Brazil: Ederson, Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhaes, Renan Lodi; Casemiro, Bruno Guimaraes; Leaves, Neymar, Rodrigo; Richardson.

Encouraged by the opening match of the 2026 World Cup qualifier for the South American region, winning 5-1 against Bolivia, the Brazilian team will have a match that is expected to be more difficult. At 9:00 a.m. on September 13 (Vietnam time), Fernando Diniz and his team met Peru at the National Stadium in Lima.

With a big win last Saturday, Brazil is at the top of the group. Meanwhile, Peru drew at Paraguay without a goal.

It is worth remembering that South America has 6 spots to participate in the 2026 World Cup, while the team ranked 7th in the qualifying round will compete for tickets through the play-off round.

The two teams have faced each other 50 times throughout history, in which Brazil has a clear advantage: 36 wins, 9 draws and only 5 losses. In World Cup qualifying, Peru has never beaten the Selecao.

The last time Brazil played in Lima, Neymar scored a hat-trick in a 4-2 victory in 2020 in a World Cup qualifier. 5 of his 6 goals against Peru were made in the last 4 matches.

Probable teams

Brazil will repeat the formation used in the opening match. Defender Gabriel Magalhaes, who was substituted late in the match against Bolivia, has undergone tests which have revealed no injuries and will therefore continue to play from the start.

Despite going through bad times, striker Richarlison was supported by Fernando Diniz and the Brazilian players and still took the starting role.

Here’s what: Ederson, Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhaes, Renan Lodi; Casemiro, Bruno Guimaraes; Raphinha, Neymar, Rodrygo; Richarlison.

Absent: Bento and Vini Jr (injured) and Antony (disqualified for assaulting his girlfriend).

Like Fernando Diniz, Juan Reynoso started his coaching career with the Peru team. He encountered many problems during his first call-up when he could not call up 9 players who were often called up, such as defender Carlos Zambrano, midfielder Cueva and striker Gianluca Lapadula.

Peru also had three more players sidelined after their opening qualifying match, a goalless draw with Paraguay: fullback Advincula, who was suspended, along with injured fullback Trauco and midfielder Christofer Gonzales.

In the most recent match, Peru hit the goal 5 times, played the entire second half with one less person but still won a point. Now, with the support of fans, the team is aiming for the feat of defeating Brazil.

Đội hình dự kiến: Pedro Gallese; Aldo Corzo, Renato Tapia, Luis Abram và Marcos Lopez; Yotun, Jesus Castillo (Miguel Araujo), Cartagena (Sergio Pena), Andy Polo; Andre Carrillo, Paolo Guerrero
