Australia vs Peru Match Preview

Australia and Peru will play in this qualifying game for the World Cup at Al Rayyan Stadium, Qatar.

Australia is coming into this game as underdogs and Peru is the favorite side. Australia selected to play in Asia qualifiers and that was a big decision for them because they risked an easier way to the World Cup final stage, looking for a stronger competition for their national squad. They ended third in their qualification group, behind Saudi Arabia and Japan. The truth is that Australia in the past had better quality with more famous players.

Peru is coming into this playoff game as the representative of South America. They are the favorite side in this game having a team with better players that are playing in better leagues. Historically, South American teams are beating Asian and Oceanian teams in these qualification games.

Both teams are playing similarly and it will be a very tough game for both. The stakes are high and both sides are not going to take big risks. Peru is playing very conservative and 10 out of their 13 last games ended with less than 3 goals overall.
