South American World Cup Preliminary Score Prediction: Uruguay vs Peru

South American World Cup qualifiers Uruguay VS Peru

Match time: 07:30 on September 5th

First talk about the focus of the World Cup qualifiers: Uruguay VS Peru! In this month's international competition, the images of Uruguay and Peru are very different. Uruguay is currently leading Venezuela in the playoffs zone by 6 points. Considering the next schedule, it can basically be said that Uruguay has entered the World Cup finals with one foot and does not have much pressure to qualify.

Compared with June, Uruguay's roster this time has also been much more beautiful. They have recruited several new stars who have performed well in the European League, and several key players have returned, such as the striker Nunes, main goalkeeper Rochet, vice captain Valverde, and Vinia, who has been absent from the national team for a long time. His return has also greatly improved Uruguay's left side. We can see many old faces in this roster, with relatively neat staff.

, and Peru, which is going to fight them, is not very optimistic. First of all, the qualifying situation. Even if Peru defeated Uruguay and Paraguay in this month's game, his points could not catch up with Colombia, which ranked sixth. It is impossible to directly advance to the World Cup. It is very difficult to squeeze into the playoffs at the last moment, just like last season.

It is inevitable that Peru will fall into such a situation. They have limited strength and have not done a good job in transition between new and old players. After so long, they are still in a stage of discontinuing. In this World Cup qualifier, Peru is the team with the worst attack power in South America, no doubt about it.

Look at the list of their recruitment this time, they still account for the majority of the players in the domestic league, especially Crystal Sports and Lima League, which are relatively conservative overall, and not many young people lead. This is a place that has been complained about by fans.

Then the question is, indeed, interim head coach Ibanes has a conservative style and has no motivation or strength to change. Just say that if they really want to change, do they have enough capital? Peru's current national scripts are not strong enough. For example, Garese in the goalkeeper position, Adventura in the defense line, and Jutton are all 35 years old. They have experience, but the reaction speed is a big problem.

And the ones they play in Europe are also very mediocre. After this summer's Club World Cup, no fans think that American players can only get beaten in front of European clubs. Just these European players in their team may not be stronger than those in Uruguay. As for the new faces, they basically have no experience in international competitions, and the club's performance is inconspicuous. It is hard to say whether they can play.

Overall, Uruguay has a high morale and better strength, and it is inevitable to gain more confidence. But there are two more things to note here.

First, Uruguay's lineup actually has gains and losses. They have key players returning, but at the same time, key players such as Nunes, Nandez, Araujo are suspended, and Jimenez is injured at Atletico Madrid. What does this mean? Their four main defenders are Mattias Oliveira, so their defense is still a bit worrying.

Uruguay's current lineup is still very good under Bielsa's training, but the problem is that there is no threatening ball at all in the midfield, which often hinders their offense. Now the forward Nunes and assisting king Araujo cannot play, and there are many offensive problems.

The second point is Peru's tactical characteristics. Although their offense is sluggish, their defense has always been done well, especially when facing strong opponents. This time, while basically using their previous lineup, they recruited several defensive players with strong play style in the middle and backcourts, hoping to bring Peru's defensive quality to a higher level.

According to what we talked about earlier, the current view of the country is that Peru is worth looking forward to their ability to keep the bottom line. Even if Uruguay performs its courage, it may only add one more. What about your opinions?
