Ahead of the 2024 Copa America finals, Peru are set to take on El Salvador in their final friendly match. While Peru readies for the Copa America, El Salvador will be preparing for the Nations League, which starts in September. For El Salvador, this game in Pennsylvania will be their seventh against Peru in history, the most recent coming in 2022, where they lost 4-1. Ahead of this game, El Salvador returned to winning ways with a 3-1 away win at St. Vincent/Grenadines in the World Cup qualifiers. That was their first win in 24 matches, and it ended a winless run spanning two years. It was also the first time in 11 matches that El Salvador managed more than a goal in a game. El Salvador had actually failed to score in six of those 11 matches. David Doniga’s men will be in the hunt for back-to-back wins for the first time in three years. The last time they won two straight games was in July 2021, beating Guatemala and Trinidad & Tobago.

Peru have registered some improvement in their recent matches and come here unbeaten in four matches. After a run of seven matches without a win, Peru responded with two wins and a draw in their most recent outings. Heading into this fixture, they drew 0-0 with Paraguay, failing to score for the first time in four matches. Drawn in a group that has Chile, Canada and Argentina, Peru will want to head to the Copa America on a high. Thus a win here will serve the needed motivation. However, their away run hasn’t been the best, Peru failing to win any of the last four away matches. It was worse in attack as they failed to score in their last three away matches. Peru scored just two goals in their last seven away matches. That’s not a surprise; in eight of their last 13 matches, Peru failed to score.
