Preview
Argentina, who have scored 20 goals in the qualifiers, rely heavily on Lionel Messi, the team’s top scorer with six goals. They are clear favorites for the 2026 tournament, building on their historic 2022 World Cup win.
This match against Peru will mark their final competitive fixture of 2024, with challenging encounters against Uruguay and Brazil awaiting next March. Peru, on the other hand, sit ninth in the table with just seven points from one win, four draws, and six losses.
Goalscoring has been a significant challenge for the team, with only three goals in their 11 matches. Jorge Fossati’s side managed a 0-0 draw with Chile in their last game.
However, they remain far from contention, trailing sixth-placed Paraguay by nine points. Historically, Argentina has dominated Peru, winning 37 of their 58 encounters and triumphing in their last four meetings.
While Peru recorded a memorable win over Uruguay last month, they were thrashed 4-0 by Brazil soon after. Argentina’s desire to bounce back from their recent defeat, coupled with their firepower, presents a daunting challenge for Peru.
