Brazil Preview – Can Brazil march on?
In a replay of the 2019 Copa America tournament, Brazil will take on Peru at the Estádio Nilton Santos in this year’s Copa America semi-final with the host nation seeking another appearance in the final of this South American competition.
Brazil won 3-1 in the 2019 final and they look seemingly set for further success in this year’s competition as well as the hosts are unbeaten in their last 12 matches overall, winning 11 of these games, so confidence is high amongst the Brazilian camp.
Brazil recorded an earlier Group B win over Peru on matchday 2 with the hosts inflicting a comprehensive 4-0 rout of Peru but they may face a more stubborn Peru outfit this time around.
Peru Preview – Can Peru avenge earlier defeat?
Although a Peru victory here against a motivated and in-form Brazil side looks highly unlikely, Peru at least stand a decent chance of giving a better account of themselves in this upcoming semi-final clash than their previous meeting in Group B which ended in a heavy 4-0 defeat.
Following that opening loss, Peru have since staged a recovery by producing a stubborn run of results which includes wins against Colombia, Venezuela and Paraguay, the latter being on penalties after the scores finished level at 3-3 at the end of 90 minutes.
Peru also gained a point in a 2-2 draw with Ecuador and their improved form and hard-working approach should at least frustrate Brazil who are expected to breeze through this semi-final tie but sometimes local expectation can be overwhelming.
