Two South American sides that have struggled to find stability recently face each other hoping they can find some clarity before next year's Copa America. Paraguay will host the always complicated Peruvians in a match that will be held at Feliciano Cáceres stadium in Luque.
Ever since the great Salvador Cabañas got shot, the Paraguayans haven't found a true leader among their players. Ever since the 2010 World Cup, the red and white team have not been able to find their feet, finishing last in the World Cup Qualifiers for Brazil's tournament.
Right now, Paraguay knows nothing but defeat in their last five international games. The Albirroja's last victory came in a friendly match against Cameroon prior to the World Cup, and they have lost matches to lower ranked teams such as the United Arab Emirates and China recently. If Victor Genes' men don't turn things around, then their coach could be seriously in trouble.
On the other hand, Peru has enjoyed a little bit of luck lately. Coached by Pablo Bengoechea, the "Bicolor" will try to get their fifth win in eight matches with the Uruguayan legend at the helm. For this game, the former Peñarol player called up prospects such as Miguel Araujo and Yordi Reyna, who will probably enjoy playing time alongside Juan Manuel Vargas and Paolo Guerrero.
Coach Bengoechea will try to give Paolo Guerrero some company up front after the Corinthians player has shown great shape in his last matches. Even though fans are not satisfied with his job so far, since they believe he's shown no tactical improvements, this could be a good chance for the Uruguayan to silence his critics.
