Prediction: 1-0
Chile
Estadio Nacional will be the centre of attention when Peru and Chile square off against each other in an eagerly-awaited World Cup qualifier. La Bicolor aim to recover from a massive 4-0 loss to Brazil and they are surely capable of matching the struggling visitors in Lima. Both Marcos Lopez and Carlos Zambrano are banned for the hosts, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
La Roja, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 defeat to Colombia, with the team extending their losing run to five games in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. As Peru defeated Uruguay in their last home game of the process, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Santiago de Chile with their hands empty. Speaking of the away team, experienced midfielder Arturo Vidal made the cut, returning to the squad following a one-year absence.
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.
La Blanquirroja are managed by Ricardo Gareca commonly referred to as the Tiger who will lead his team to 2016 Copa America Centenario looking to win Peru its first trophy at a major tournament since 1982.
