Brazil (1-1-1, 4 points) will try to bounce back from a disappointing Matchday 3 performance last Friday as it faces Peru (1-2-0, 3 points) for a CONMEBOL 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers Matchday 4 encounter at the Itaipava Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador on Tuesday.
The Pentacampeões settled for a 1-1 draw against a Lionel Messi-less Argentina squad even as coach Dunga's side featured Neymar in their starting lineup at the Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti in Buenos Aires on November 13, as per Bleacher Report.
It was midfielder Lucas Lima who starred for the Canarinho in the game as he equalized a 0-1 deficit two minutes before the hour mark in the second half brought by a goal from Argentina's PSG striker Ezequiel Lavezzi in the first half of the contest.
Meanwhile, Peru pulled off a 1-0 upset over Paraguay in their own Matchday 3 affair at the Estadio Nacional in Lima also last Friday, as reported by Soccerway.
La Blanquirroja winger Jefferson Farfán scored the winner for Ricardo Gareca's squad right at the 20th minute of the match as the Peruvians held on with the lead until full time.
It was the White and Red's first win of the season after consecutive losses against Colombia and Chile in their first two games.
The predicted result is Brazil over Peru, 3-1.
Brazil starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Alisson; Miranda, Luiz, Alves, Luis; Elias, Gustavo, Willian, Lima; Oliveira, Neymar
Peru starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Penny; Zambrano, Advincula, Yotún, Ascues; Tapia, Lobaton; Pizarro, Guerrero, Farfán; Reyna
