After kicking off the 2026 World Cup qualifiers with a big home win over Bolivia, Brazil travels to Peru on Tuesday, hoping to maintain a perfect record through two games.
Neymar has just become Brazil’s all-time top goal scorer. Can he add another one to his tally in Lima? Bookmaker 10bet offers odds at 2.00 for him to score anytime in the match. The odds are at 6.50 for Neymar to bag at least two goals.

Neymar scored twice in a 5-1 victory versus Bolivia to break a tie with Pele at the top of Brazil’s goals list. He has netted 79 times in 125 outings and appears to be still hungry for more success despite leaving Europe this summer and signing with Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia.
Tuesday will be another special match for Neymar as he will tie Dani Alves for the second most games in Brazil colors. He’ll start chasing down Cafu and his 142 matches when the October internationals come around. Brazil has a good chance to head into the next set of fixtures with six points.
Playing Peru has suited very well for the Selecao in previous years, with Brazil winning 10 of the most recent 12 head-to-head matches. Peru has always been a determined side that can make things difficult for any team, but for some reason, Los Incas can’t get their game plan to work against the Brazilians.
Peru hasn’t even scored in the past three meetings with Brazil, and the team ended up conceding four times in the last home game against the five-time world champion, with Neymar bagging a hat trick in a 4-2 away triumph in 2020 during the last World Cup qualifying campaign.
Peru’s road to the 2026 tournament started with a 0-0 away draw against Paraguay. It can be seen as a pretty impressive result, considering Juan Reynoso’s side spent the entire second half with ten men after Luis Advíncula was sent off for two bookings.
The result from the opening round means that Peru now boasts a pretty impressive record from its last seven qualifiers, having lost just once and winning four times. The run of results on home turf is even better, with four wins registered in five matches. However, Brazil failed to win just three matches during the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, and the visitors are still seen as massive favorites for Tuesday’s clash.
