Peru and Colombia will try to go back to winning ways in the CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers after a six-month wait to play. As you may remember the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic forced all teams to change their plans for the qualifiers, and now, we will see all South American National Team picking up where they left off.
The two teams in question have struggled to find their top form during the qualifiers, which has caused Colombia to fire their coach in favor of Reinaldo Rueda's signing. Now, Los Cafetaleros will travel to Lima with nothing but a win on their minds. In order to do that, Rueda's team will have to do so without two of their most popular players in the globe: James Rodríguez and Radamel Falcao. With that in mind, the yellow and blue side will need Duván Zapata, Mateus Uribe, or Luis Muriel to step up and deliver if they want to climb up CONMEBOL's standings.
On the other hand, the hosts have struggled so much that they have only been able to win one point, which has placed their hopes for a second World Cup appearance in a row. Ricardo Gareca's men need to change their pace if they want to turn things around, and with that in mind, the return of their striker Paolo Guerrero will come in handy. Added to his presence, players such as Christian Cueva, Pedro Aquino, or André Carrillo will be instrumental to La Franjirroja's chances of success.
This will mark the 58th time in which Peru and Colombia lock horns in an international game. So far, the Colombian side has walked away with 19 wins, while Perú's teams have won 15 matches against Los Cafetaleros. Twenty-two games between these teams have ended in a draw. Their last match between these teams took place on November 15, 2019, and Colombia took home the win with a one-nil score.
With both teams in need of a win, we can anticipate a close match between two coaches who enjoy ball possession as their primary target. Will goals galore in this South American matchup? We will have to wait and see how things unfold at Estadio Nacional de Lima this Thursday.
