Match facts

  • This will be the ninth World Cup qualifying match between these teams in this century. Surprisingly enough, Perú has only been able to beat the Colombians away from home.

  • The last meeting between these sides saw Colombia beat Perú in the Quarter final stage of the 2016 Copa América Centenario.

Team news

Los Incas are three points away from reaching the World Cup, something that seemed impossible when the WCQ began. Ricardo Gareca's side has shocked South America with its combative style of play, and one more victory could mark their return to the global competition after 35 years. Unfortunately for Gareca, veteran Jefferson Farfán will have to watch this game from the stands after being booked against Argentina.

On the other side of the pitch, Colombia came close to securing their spot in the World Cup, but Paraguay snatched the win away from them with two goals in injury time. Now, Colombia needs to win this game to avoid being eliminated, and Pekerman's men will have one key element absent in defense, as Cristian Zapata picked up one more booking and will have to sit this one out.

Neither side can afford to draw, since Paraguay and Argentina could leapfrog them if they win their respective matches.
