Prediction: 1-2
Peru
It has been three years since United States of America and Peru last met in a friendly game. Back then USA defeated Peru 2-1, with Jozy Altidore scoring a brace for the Yanks and, no doubt, Dave Sarachan’s troops want to repeat the success. The experienced tactician, though, will count on MLS players for Wednesday’s football game against Peru and we predict that Borussia Dortmund ace Christian Pulisic is going to be sorely missed in the Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field clash. The Peruvians, on the other hand, who failed to impress at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals, are ready for a new beginning and we predict that they are going to leave their hearts on the field in Wednesday’s friendly. Seeing that the Yanks will be without several first-team regulars in this game, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visitors.

Highlighted Team (Peru):
Peru national team has been competing at the international stage since 1927 when they played their first ever match against Uruguay. Over the course of their history, La Blanquirroja have formed long-standing rivalries with Chile and Ecuador while 1970s brought the team a worldwide recognition during the period that is to this date considered the most successful in Peruvian football.
Teofilo Cubillas, the team’s top scorer with 26 goals to his name is considered Peru’s greatest player helped the team qualify for three World Cups and win the Copa America in 1975. Peru are the two-time champion of the tournament, who came close to lifting the Copa America trophy again in recent years, finishing third in 2011 and 2015 respectively.
