Peru vs. Argentina Betting Analysis
Looking at FIFA World Cup stats shows that Peru’s qualification campaign had terrible omens from the start. Peru got a red card in the 45th minute of its first qualification match against Paraguay and held off a vicious firestorm for the final 45 minutes to earn a draw. Since then, things haven’t gone much better for Peru.
People making Peru vs Argentina picks & parlays will see Peru doesn’t have one shot on target during its first three matches in the qualifiers. One of those matches was against one of the favorites to qualify, Brazil, but Peru also struggled against Chile and Paraguay to generate chances.
While Argentina won’t have Lionel Messi for the FIFA World Cup 2026, La Albiceleste has utilized his services through qualifying. It is unclear if Messi, 36, will be able to play for Argentina against Peru. He has an issue with scar tissue and may be limited or unavailable against Peru.
Messi scored in Argentina’s first qualifier against Ecuador, but the team has seen plenty of balance in the attack since then. La Albiceleste has seen four players score Argentina’s other four goals in wins over Bolivia and Paraguay.
Peru vs. Argentina Betting Picks
People looking at making FIFA World Cup qualifiers picks will see that Peru hasn’t had any opportunity to score goals during qualifying. If La Blanquirroja can’t find a way to develop what should be an aggressive Argentinian match, things could be ugly for Peru. Winning on the road in South America isn’t easy, but Argentina will have the lineup to take down Peru.
Argentina still has some questions in its lineup against Peru, according to news released for people looking at Peru vs Argentina picks & parlays. While La Albiceleste is a heavy favorite to win, scoring won’t be easy against a Peru side that will be committed to defending. Peru likely won’t be able to score, so this match should slide under the total.
Placing a wager on Peru not to score is another strong better. La Blanquirroja won’t be able to find its scoring touch against Argentina, not even at home.
