In turn, midfielder Jean Pierre Archimbaud, whose call has been endorsed for understanding the national coach’s system, indicated that the match against Brazil “is complicated, but the games have to be played. We are going to go with a positive mentality, and God willing that we get a positive result.”
For its part, the Brazilian team had a great scare in its presentation against Chile, at the National Stadium in Santiago, despite winning 2-1. Initially, they started down in the score due to an early goal by Eduardo Vargas. However, there was an improvement in the progress of the set reflected in the goals scored by Igor Jesús and Luiz Henrique.

“It was an important result, but nothing more. It is very little for what we want and aspire to. Let’s continue the work with the utmost respect. We are going step by step, with a lot to fix, but little by little finding the way,” said coach Dorival Junior.
Canarinha is in fourth place in the 2026 South American Qualifiers with 13 units. They will try to continue climbing when they face Blanquirroja, second to last in the standings with just 6 points, at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in the Federal Capital.
The summary of the duel between Chile and Brazil
With hundreds of fans witnessing the preparations for the duel against Peru, Scratch held their training sessions at the Bezerrão stadium. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) had planned for the practices led by Dorival Junior to be behind closed doors, but given the strong presence of the public outdoors, they decided to change strategy.
With planning underway, the Brazilian CT set up its first eleven with a novelty: Matheus Pereira in the center of the field. His call is due to the suspension – due to a double warning – of Lucas Paquetá. In the next few hours the official lineup will be known, although it is expected that there will be no major changes with respect to the last release.

Meanwhile, the Peruvian team has worked with great conservatism in the National Sports Village. It is clear that Jorge Fossati will maintain his 3-5-2 system, but we just need to know who the performers will be on his board.
Full-back Luis Advíncula, who recently overcame an illness, emerges as an option for the starting position. It is also estimated that Marcos López will return as a first baseman. The last word goes to Flaco, whose technical responsibility has found some support from his triumph in extremis against Uruguay, in Lima.
