Peru’s preparation for the upcoming World Cup continues with a friendly against Sweden. The South American side fought hard to make it to Russia and will thus want to leave an impression, leaving this clash as an excellent test.
The South American nation has even been given a huge boost by the return of José Guerrero. Their captain has been serving an international ban but saw his suspension lifted in time to be included in their 23-man final squad.
He made a heroic return in their recent friendly against Saudi Arabia, bagging a brace en route to their 3-0 victory. They thus appear ready for the 2018 World Cup, having beaten New Zealand in the playoffs, needing this warm-up tie to up their competitiveness.
Sweden, on the other hand, has suffered a dip in form lately. They may have beaten Italy 1-0 in the UEFA World Cup playoffs, but that was their last taste of victory.
Since booking their ticket to Russia, the Scandinavian side has locked horns with the likes of Chile and Netherlands. Those games were fitting of a team set to face defending champion Germany and Mexico – all that is left is to translate that experience into wins.
