Copa America 2021 continues its course as Matchday 1 is already part of the past and the reigning champions want to continue on their way to a back-to-back title. Brazil and Peru will face off on the second round of Group B at Estadio Olímpico Nilson Santos in Río de Janeiro.

La Verde-amarela have begun their campaign strongly, putting three past Venezuela on the Copa America 2021 opener. Tité‘s boys have got used to recording win after win lately, and they’ll try to claim the three points once again in this game.

Unlike the hosts, Peru haven’t begun their Copa America 2021 campaign yet but they are about to do so. Their first task doesn’t seem any easy, in what will be sort of a rematch of the previous edition’s final. Coach Ricardo Gareca has decided to leave out some big namessuch as Paolo Guerrero, Raúl Ruidiaz, and Pedro Aquino from the squad.

El Tigre is preparing Peru for a transition to a new generation of players, and this is how they will line up to face Brazil:Pedro Gallese; Aldo Corzo, Christian Ramos, Luis Abram, Marcos López; Renato Tapia, Yoshimar Yotún; Christian Cueva, Sergio Peña, André Carrillo;Gianluca Lapadula.
