Brazil possible 11:
Weverton, Danilo, Militao, Verissimo, Sandro, Casemiro, Paquetá, Gerson, Ribeiro, Barbosa and Neymar
Peru possible 11:
Gallese, Lopez, Callens, Santamaria, Advincula, Yotun, Tapia, Flores, Carrillo, Cueva and Lapadula
Prediction: Brazil 3-1 Peru
Brazil is in fine form having won all their matches. Even with a few players missing, we expect them to win this one comfortably.
Peru’s poor form puts them under the cosh and we do not see them trouble a talented Brazil side.
Players to watch out for: Neymar, Paquetá, Lapadula and Cueva.
