Match Preview
Uruguay enters this match with confidence, having earned 24 points in qualifying, positioning them well for a World Cup spot. However, their recent form has been inconsistent, with a goalless draw against Bolivia, losses to Argentina and Paraguay, and a win over Venezuela.
Under the management of Marcelo Bielsa, Uruguay employs an energetic playing style that emphasizes strong defense, intense pressing, and quick attacks, reflecting their competitive spirit.
In contrast, Peru has struggled throughout the qualification process, gathering only 12 points from 16 matches, which has dashed their hopes for playoff qualification. They have scored just six goals, the fewest among all teams. This year, Peru’s results include a win against Bolivia and losses to Venezuela and goalless draws with Ecuador and Colombia.
Peru’s approach has been mainly defensive, focusing on counterattacks and a well-organized defense, but results under Oscar Ibáñez have not improved much.
