Marcelo Bielsa is determined to lead his team to victory once again as Uruguay prepares to face Peru in their upcoming World Cup qualifying match. Currently sitting in third place on the qualifying table with 15 points from eight matches, La Celeste has shown their strength with four wins, three draws, and one loss.
Under the guidance of Bielsa, Uruguay has established themselves as one of the top national teams in the world. Their direct-attacking style of play during the 2024 Copa America caught the attention of fans worldwide. However, they faced two consecutive goalless draws against Paraguay and Venezuela in their recent matches.
On the other hand, Peru finds themselves at the bottom of the qualifying table, still seeking their first win after eight games. With three draws and five losses, La Bicolor has only managed to secure three points so far. Although they held Colombia to a 0-0 draw last month, they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Ecuador.
The upcoming match between Peru and Uruguay promises to be highly competitive, as is typical of South American World Cup qualifiers. The clash is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 12, 2024, at Estadio Nacional de Lima.
Key players to watch out for include Pedro Gallese from Peru and Darwin Núñez from Uruguay. Gallese, a standout performer for Orlando City SC, will be crucial in defending against Uruguay’s attacking threats. Núñez, returning to the national team, is expected to make an impact with his scoring prowess.
In their previous encounters, Uruguay emerged victorious with a 1-0 win over Peru. The betting odds for the upcoming match favor Uruguay to secure another win. Additional tips include betting on Uruguay to win, both teams not to score, and under 2 expected goals.
In terms of injuries and team news, Peru will be missing defenders Luis Advincula and Miguel Araujo, while Uruguay will have their full squad available for selection. The head-to-head record between the two teams shows Uruguay holding the advantage with seven wins compared to Peru’s four.
