Colombia’s victory over Bolivia has changed the tone of Chile vs Peru. Both the Chileans and the Peruvians are subsequently guaranteed quarter-final tickets ahead of match-day 3.
For both Chile and Peru, this fixture may be great to try out new formations and give the chance to other players. But above all, the fight for Group C’s top spot is still going on. So Tuesday’s encounter could offer a great show instead of just a lame battle where both teams are rather thinking of the quarter-finals.
As of now, Chile head Group C since they’ve scored more goals than Peru. However, each side holds 4 points and a (+1) goal difference after 2 match-days. A draw will keep the Chileans above the Peruvians but both will drop to second and third respectively, should Uruguay record a 2-0 margin victory over Mexico in La Plata.
So while Chile will attempt to improve on their hard-fought 1-1 draw against La Celeste, Peru will be looking to maintain their momentum following their narrow win over Mexico last Friday. The press in Peru has actually gone wild due to the Blanquirroja’s remarkable form in Argentina.
Paolo Guerrero, besides, is on track to earning a higher hero status in his country. The striker currently has 2 goals in his 2011 Copa America account whereas Chile’s 3 goals each have a different author thus far.
