Argentina vs Peru Predictions and Match Preview

Argentina vs Peru Prediction

Lionel Scaloni is expected to rest some of his key players for the final Group A game against Peru. Argentina have already secured quarter final berth with wins with clean sheets against Chile and Canada.

Thanks to their +3 goals difference, which is four more than the other teams in the group.

Meanwhile, Peru needs nothing but a massive win against Argentina to finish second, considering Canada and Chile play out a stalemate. They are at the foot of the table after the surprise 1-0 defeat to Canada after starting the campaign with an impressive goal-less draw versus Chile.

Peru last failed to reach the knockout round in 1995, i.e. 10 editions ago.

Argentina team news

Lionel Messi is most likely to miss the game against Peru as he picked up a knock in the game against Chile.

Besides, Scaloni might start some of the players who played for a few minutes in the first two games.

Argentina Expected Starting Line-up (4-4-2)

Emiliano Martinez – Molina, Otamendi, Quarta, Acuna – de Paul, Paredes, Enzo Martinez, Garnacho – Julian Alvarez, Lautaro Martinez.

Peru Team News

We are not expected to see any wholesome changes in Jorge Fossati’s starting line-up unless otherwise it was forced.

However, Peru has problems at the back with Miguel Araujo suspended and veteran Luis Advincula injured.

Luis Abram and Aldo Corzo are options to replace Araujo, while Marcos Lopez might get another chance in left wing position.

Peru Expected Starting Line-up (3-5-2)

Gallese – Callens, Zambrano, Abram – Lopez, Cordova, Cartagena, Pena, Polo – Flores, Lapadula.

Messi-less Argentina to snatch 3 points against Peru

This Argentina squad is too strong for Peru even with wholesale changes to keep star players fit for the knockout round.  

Lautaro Martinez is the biggest beneficiary, whose club form was never a question and lady luck finally start to shine on him after an unproductive FIFA World Cup.

So, as main bet, we will take Argentina to win to nil or you can also take a shot at Albaceleste’s win with under 2.5 total goals.

The full-time correct score 2-0 is my pick for the full-time correct score bet.

The player to watch in this match is Lautaro Martinez and he is our pick to score anytime in the final group game against Peru.
