The performance of the five-time world champion is absolutely unacceptable. The Brazilian national team is anything but in top form and will have to be at their best to outperform their opponents. Peru is perhaps the best rival for this occsion as the team also managed to win only once in this qualifications. The hosts started the campaign really well, winning 5-1 against Bolivia and 1-0 against Peru. What followed was a downward trend. A 1-1 draw against Venezuela a 0-2 defeat against Uruguay. Another 1-2 loss against Colombia and Argentina, the year 2023 ended with four games without a win. 2024 started with a 1-0 vs Ecuador but then came the 0-1 loss vs Paraguay. A few days ago the mood came back after the final 2-1 win against Chile. The victory against Chile was secured in the 89th minute. Fortunately for the hosts Peru is an opponent that Brazil has enjoyed playing against for years. It is not for nothing that they have won their last five games and conceded only two goals.
