Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Uruguay vs Peru
Uruguay faced lots of ups and downs during this World Cup qualifying campaign. To illustrate, La Celeste lost two of their first ten fixtures and won four. However, disastrous results in October and November of last year saw Uruguay lose four games in a row. That led to the sacking of long-time coach Oscar Tabarez.
Under new coach Diego Alonso, La Celeste won twice in a row and clinched the fourth position that qualifies to Qatar 2022 automatically. Surely, the two-time World champions will do their best to cling to this spot with two rounds remaining.
Peru on the other hand had a horrible start to the qualification drawing their first game and then losing their next four. In fact, La Bicolor looked completely out very early in the qualifiers. However, coach Ricardo Gareca steadied the ship quick enough to challenge for a top-five and even top-four finish.
Notably, the White and Reds are undefeated in their last four fixtures and have high hopes of playing in Qatar this year. To explain, if Peru come back from Montevideo with a positive result, they will play in the final round at home against Paraguay which is a winnable match.
