Peru vs Bolivia: what’s at stake?
Peru are four matches without a win and have scored twice in the process. Mano Menezes took them through October on a North American tour that produced a 4-1 defeat to the United States, a 1-1 draw with Mexico, a 2-0 loss to Canada in Montréal and a 2-0 defeat to Colombia. They did not qualify for the World Cup, finishing ninth in CONMEBOL on twelve points.
Bolivia are in a worse place still. Óscar Villegas’s side have lost their last four — 4-0 to Argentina, 2-0 to Paraguay, 4-0 to Algeria and 4-0 to Scotland — without scoring a goal in any of them. Fourteen conceded, none scored.
So this is two rebuilds meeting at the point where both need a result more than a performance. Peru stay home; Bolivia go on to Ecuador on Tuesday.
Team news and talking points
Menezes has named a 26-man squad built around the familiar spine — Pedro Gallese, Yoshimar Yotún and Gianluca Lapadula — with the notable new face being 19-year-old Como midfielder Francesco Andrealli. André Carrillo, Álex Valera, Jairo Concha, Miguel Araujo and Renzo Garcés all miss out, and Renato Tapia is not in the squad. Bolivia named 25, with Carlos Lampe, Nabil Nacif and Moisés Paniagua among the returns and five uncapped players included. The rest of the window is in our international coverage.
Peru vs Bolivia prediction
Peru have been poor and are still comfortably the better side here. Bolivia have not scored a goal since September and have conceded four on three separate occasions in that run, all of it away from the altitude in La Paz that makes them a different team. Lima is not La Paz. Peru will not need many, and on the evidence of the past two months they will not get many either. Prediction: Peru 1-0 Bolivia.
