In the early hours of Wednesday, Peru and Argentina go head-to-head in the South American section of qualifying for the World Cup.
The Incas have failed to win any of their opening three qualifiers, picking up just a point in the poor qualifying run. A 2-0 defeat in Chile last time out saw Peru fail to score in their third straight World Cup qualifier.
In fact, they have been unable to score in four of their last five games in qualifying. Their lack of goals has contributed to their previous seven qualifiers producing under 2.5 goals.
A 1-0 defeat against Brazil in their last home match ended a six-game unbeaten run on home soil in World Cup qualifying.
Their recent qualifiers in front of their own supporters have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their previous seven matches.
The reigning World Champions have made an unsurprisingly strong start to their qualifying campaign, as they sit at the top of the standings, having recorded three straight wins. Lionel Scaloni’s team recorded a 1-0 win over Paraguay in their last World Cup qualifier.
The game saw another clean sheet for the South American giants, as they have kept clean sheets in five of the last six qualifiers.
Their recent qualifiers have been relatively low-scoring, as there have been under 2.5 goals scored in three of their previous four games in qualifying.
Argentina have been difficult to beat on their travels in qualifying, as they are undefeated in their last 11 qualifiers, having recorded eight wins and three draws.
The visitors have been relatively prolific of late in qualifying, having scored at least two goals in seven of their last ten games.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Argentina will record a narrow victory in a low-scoring clash to consolidate their position at the top of the standings.
