Peru vs Brazil: Storylines

It’s not a coincidence that Peru have turned into one of the most exciting teams to watch in the continent and it didn’t happen all of a sudden, as Ricardo Gareca has done an amazing job in charge of The Stripe.

Peru is a well-coached, balanced team that finds its strength in numbers rather than just individual performances. However, they’ll clearly miss Paolo Guerrero, Christian Cueva, and Edison Flores.

The Brazilians won’t be at full strength either as Everton star Richarlison is likely to be sidelined with an ankle injury. Then again, they’ll be just fine with Roberto Firmino and Neymar Jr leading the way.
