It is worth noting that Brazil hasn't suffered a defeat at home in the preliminary round for a World Cup competition; in its last 28 games at home, it has managed 20 wins while 8 games ended in a draw. Brazil's 1-1 draw in its last game in the group against Argentina away from home is a satisfactory outcome for tonight's hosts since, based on the team's efforts into the game, it didn't really deserve to win the game.
Peru has suffered 2 defeats in its first 2 games in the group, from Colombia away from home and from Chile at home, but it managed a 1-0 home win against Paraguay in its third game. It is worth mentioning that the 2 teams met recently at the Copa America competition, a game that Brazil won by scoring its second goal in the dying minutes.
