PERU vs BRAZIL
| This is Peru’s biggest test yet, and though they are firm outsiders, any result is likely to be a tight one. Tellingly, each of their last five Copa América (CA) matches against CONMEBOL opposition currently ranked in FIFA’s top-20 have been settled by a margin of less than 1.5 goals (W1, D2, L2). |
| While there could be a tight scoreline forthcoming, three of Peru’s last four matches against fellow South Americans (inc. friendlies) have not been short of a quickfire start, seeing an opening goal inside the first half-hour. Additionally, two of the last three in that category have also seen a goal beyond the 89th minute. |
| Unbeaten in 12 matches ahead of kick-off (W10, D2), Brazil stand as rightful favourites, even though they were 1-0 losers against Peru in their last CA meeting back in 2016. That defeat remains Brazil’s only loss against CONMEBOL opponents outside of FIFA’s current top-20 since October 2009. |
| Brazil have also opened the scoring on ten occasions across the 12 matches played since their World Cup elimination (W9, D1). Seven of those wins yielded a margin of multiple goals, with Brazil scoring 3+ goals in the second half of three games out of the last four in that category. |
| Players to watch: Both of Peru’s victories in 2019 to yield a 1-0 scoreline have seen Christian Cueva net the winner. |
| Young Brazil forward Everton scored the final goal (and his first for Brazil) against Bolivia in his nation’s victorious opener. |
| Stat attack: Four of Peru’s last six matches have produced under 2.5 total match goals, with only one of those six seeing both teams score. |
| Could three be the magic number? Three of Brazil’s last four CA victories have contained exactly three match goals. |
| The last CA H2H was the second in succession to see one team win after a level half-time score. |
