How to watch Brazil vs Peru live: stream link, TV channel, team news, prediction

Injury-hit Brazil got their 2026 World Cup qualification back on track with a big 2-1 win in Chile and will now turn their attention to hosting Peru in Brasilia on Tuesday (October 15).

With several key players missing through injury, Brazil recovered after falling behind early against Chile and Henrique scored the winner in the 89th minute to secure their second win from their last three games. The Selecao have recovered well from their slow start to CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying, but Brazil coach Dorival Junior is still under pressure and they need a big win against Peru to cement their place in the top six of the table, the all automatically qualify for the 2026 World Cup.

Peru travel to Brazil with real confidence after shocking Uruguay 1-0 amid wonderful scenes in their last game in Lima. Miguel Araujo's 88th-minute winner stunned Uruguay and gave Peru its first win in nine games to start qualifying, briefly slipping the team off the bottom of the table. Peru still have a lot of work to do to get anywhere close to the World Cup qualifying spots, but beating in-form Uruguay is a big victory and gives them hope that they can turn their qualifying campaign around once again.

Brazilian team news, focus

Alisson, Vinicius Junior, Richarlison, Gabriel Jesus, Joelinton, Casemiro, Douglas Luiz and Eder Militao were all missing from this Brazil squad. Dorival Junior started against Chile with a very different forward line, as Barcelona's Raphinha was joined by Man City's Savinho, Real Madrid's Rodrygo and Botafogo's Igor Jesus. With players like Bruno Guimaraes (who came on at half-time against Chile and set up the late winner) and Endrick coming off the bench, this Brazil squad is still strong but they are stretched to the limit. Arsenal's Gabriel Martinelli was also examined for a calf injury after coming on as a substitute against Chile. Ederson started in goal against Chile while Alisson missed out, while West Ham's Lucas Paqueta started in midfield but was substituted at half-time and Arsenal's Gabriel excelled at centre-back as Brazil need to make their defensive prowess their main strength to move forward. If they get this under control, they know that players like Vinicius, Rodrygo and Co. can destroy opponents on the counterattack.

Peruvian team news, focus

Make no mistake: Peru will arrive in Brasilia with momentum after beating Marcelo Bielsa's Uruguay. Peru matched Uruguay's 3-5-2 formation, going man to man, and it worked as it was an extremely physical game, with Peru overtaking Uruguay late on when Araujo's powerful header made the difference. The Portland Timbers defender will be joined by Orlando City goalkeeper Pedro Gallese and Atlanta United's Luis Abram. MLS fans will know some names well, while they have a mix of players playing in Europe and domestically, gradually coalescing under new coach Jorge Fossati, who arrived last year.

Brazil vs Peru prediction

This will be harder than it looks on paper, but Brazil will simply have the extra quality to get the job done, with Endrick, Savinho and Rodrygo causing havoc on the counterattack. Brazil 2-1 Peru.
