La Albiceleste aims to bounce back from their shock defeat to Paraguay, while Peru desperately seeks points to climb out of the qualifying table’s cellar. Argentina’s recent stumble (3-1-1 in their last five qualifiers) has tightened the race, though Peru’s struggles (1-1-3) make them heavy underdogs in this clash.

Argentina, under head coach Lionel Scaloni, looks to regain their dominant form after a surprising 2-1 loss to Paraguay. The reigning world champions currently sit atop the CONMEBOL standings with 22 points from 11 matches. Their potent attack, led by Lionel Messi with 6 goals in qualifying, will aim to break down a struggling Peruvian defense.

Peru, guided by Jorge Fossati, enters this match in last place with just 7 points from 11 games. La Blanquirroja has struggled mightily to find the back of the net, scoring only 3 goals throughout the qualifying campaign. Their experienced striker Paolo Guerrero, still playing at 40 years old, remains their main offensive threat.

This matchup carries significant weight for both teams’ World Cup qualifying aspirations. A win for Argentina would help them maintain their lead atop the standings, while Peru desperately needs points to keep their slim qualification hopes alive.

Argentina will be without defenders Cristian Romero and Lisandro Martinez due to injuries, potentially opening opportunities for Leonardo Balerdi to partner with Nicolas Otamendi in central defense. Peru is not reporting any new injuries from their previous match.
