Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
Uruguay
Match Time & Date:
5 September 2025
00:30
Prediction: 2-0
Peru
All eyes will be on Estadio Centenario when Uruguay and Peru lock horns in their penultimate 2026 World Cup qualifier. La Celeste are one point away from securing their spot at the showpiece tournament in USA, Mexico, and Canada, but they surely want to get their job done with a win over Chile in front of home fans. Both Ronald Araujo and Nahitan Nandez are banned for Friday’s game, while the likes of Nicolas De La Cruz, Maxi Araujo, and Jose Maria Gimenez have been ruled out with injuries.
Former Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is back from the Conmebol suspension. La Bicolor, on the other hand, missed out on a spot at the World Cup finals, meaning that they are low on confidence ahead of the trip to Montevideo. Veteran Peru striker Paolo Guerrero has been left out of the squad. As Uruguay have turned Estadio Centenario into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed.
Highlighted Team (Uruguay):
La Celeste are one of the most successful South American nations. Uruguay are frequently the champions of the continent having most recently won the tournament in 2011. They have won the Copa America a record 15 times including the first ever edition of the competition in 1916, while the team has also won FIFA World Cup in two occasions including the inaugural competition in 1930 when they defeated Argentina 4-2 in the final as hosts.
Their second World Cup title came in 1950 when Uruguay and Brazil played a legendary match which recorded a higher attendance than any other football match in the history of the game. Uruguay is the smallest country in the world to have won a World Cup by population, but La Celeste are proud of their football heritage which yielded some of the best footballers in the world over the course of history.
Most notable player of the current selection is Barcelona striker Luis Suarez, who is also the team’s top scorer with 45 goals to his name.
