Brazil is aiming to secure an essential victory on Tuesday in Brasilia as they face Peru, hoping to gain crucial points in the October international window.
Following an early scare against Chile last Thursday, where they conceded a goal just two minutes into the match, Brazil showcased their resilience by coming back to win, moving them up to fourth place in the standings. This win was particularly important after their previous loss to Paraguay.
However, the team is grappling with significant player injuries. Key contributors Alisson and Vinicius Jr. are both absent, so Brazil will need to adapt without several vital members.
On the other hand, Peru is facing its own challenges but recently climbed off the bottom of the table thanks to a morale-boosting win against Uruguay.
Here’s the latest information on team lineups and news.

Additionally, Borussia Dortmund’s Yan Couto, Flamengo’s Pedro, and Guilherme Arana from Atletico Mineiro are unavailable. Gabriel Martinelli has a calf issue and is doubtful, while midfielder Lucas Paqueta is suspended.
