Peru v Chile

Peru vs Chile Preview

The South American section of World Cup qualifiers continues this week and features this upcoming clash between ninth placed Peru and bottom placed nation Chile when the two nations clash at the Estadio Nacional de Lima.

Just a single point separates the upcoming hosts Peru and their visitors Chile ahead of this basement clash in the CONMEBOL table and with just one win apiece from their respective 10 matches overall in this World Cup qualifying campaign, this forthcoming battle looks like being a closely fought affair.

Peru have managed to pick up just the one win to date so far in their qualifying campaign and despite the South American section being handed six qualifying places by FIFA for the next World Cup, the hosts still remain some seven points adrift of the automatic qualifying spots.

The Peruvians' singular success so far came in the shape of a 1-0 home win against high-flyers Uruguay but six defeats within their opening 10 qualifiers suggest the straight win markets should be avoided at all costs here!

Results on home soil though overall have been pretty encouraging for Jorge Fossati's side as Peru have suffered just two defeats out of their last 11 World Cup qualifiers on home soil, with the draw featuring on four occasions.

Chile sit bottom of the CONMEBOL table with just five points under their belts after the opening 10 games of the South American section, and similar to their upcoming hosts, Peru, Chile have also managed to earn just a single win to date.

Interestingly, that singular success for Ricardo Gareca's side came in the form of a 2-0 home win against Peru but having also slipped to no fewer than seven defeats within their opening 10 qualifiers, Chile face another tough assignment in Lima against Peru.

Indeed, Chile have managed to register just two wins in their previous 15 World Cup qualifiers overall with victories gained over Bolivia and the aforementioned Peru but this poor sequence of results also includes being dealt 11 losses along the way as well.

Results away from home also suggest the straight win markets should be avoided for this upcoming clash against Peru as Chile have picked up just two wins in their previous 20 World Cup qualifiers on the road whilst slumping to 15 losses within this period as well.

In addition, Chile have now lost each of their last six away ties in the CONMEBOL section so expectations are relatively low ahead of this upcoming basement battle with Peru.

Peru v Chile Verdict

The previous four competitive internationals played between these two side have resulted in two wins apiece for both Peru and Chile, so another tight encounter is expected in this upcoming clash at the Estadio Nacional de Lima where both sides could score in a 1-1 draw.
