Against a Peru team that has nothing to play for – it is six points behind seventh place, which would allow it to at least reach the playoffs – Uruguay only needs one point to be mathematically certain of qualifying for the next World Cup. In short, it will be a night of celebration for the home team, ready to pop the champagne, the good stuff, for the occasion.
Bielsa’s team has built its qualification campaign mainly on home games. It has lost only once to Argentina, earning several important points. Of course, the team has also performed well away from home, otherwise it would have been difficult to achieve its goal. Peru, on the other hand, which has recently lost momentum, has never won away in the qualifiers. In fact, it has only earned one point and lost all the others. In this case, there was a big difference that made it impossible to even think about the possibility of qualifying.
A night of joy, as we said. Uruguay is celebrating and sure of qualification. In this case, motivation will make all the difference to the final result.

The prediction
As we have explained, since the match has little to offer, the odds that bookmakers are giving for GOALS are very tempting, not to say sensational. Yes, Peru has scored very little, especially away from home, but on a night of celebration, perhaps with the game already decided, who knows, they might score a goal. It’s a risk. If you don’t want to take it, however, we’ve already told you everything you need to know.
