Uruguay welcomes Peru to the Estadio Centenario for this crucial South American World Cup qualifying match. The home team are in fourth position on the table while the away team are in fifth position. Uruguay can confirm their place at the World Cup with victory in this match. They are just one point ahead of Peru but a win will take them four points clear and safely through in one of the automatic qualifying spots. Uruguay have turned their campaign around in the nick of time with wins in their last two matches. Prior to this they were on a four match losing run and were facing the distinct possibility of not making the World Cup. A draw in this match will still give them another opportunity to qualify by winning their last match away to Chile.

Peru are coming into this match knowing nothing short of three points will help them qualify. They are in a very delicate situation as a win will take them into fourth place while a loss or draw for them could see them being overtaken by sixth place Chile. They are on a great run of three wins and a draw in the qualifiers. Peru will need to continue with that form in order to mount a late surge for one of the automatic qualifying positions. They will be weary that even a draw could see them stay in fifth place provided Chile doesn’t win. Peru are fortunate that Chile are away to leaders Brazil with victory for the Chileans very unlikely.
