Peru have two straight losses ahead of their home game against Uruguay and will be looking to home advantage when they host Uruguay in the seventh round of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. Peru are currently bottom of the 10-team log, with four points while Uruguay are fourth with eight points. The hosts go to this game with just three wins in their last 10 matches and have conceded two or more goals in three of the last five matches. They have just one clean sheet in the last 10 matches and will need to be smarter in defence against this Uruguay side with some of the best attacking talent. In their last game in this competition, they beat Ecuador for their first win of the qualifiers and will hope they can start a good run. They however failed to score in three of the last four World Cup qualification matches.

Uruguay, on the other hand take to this game a four-match unbeaten run, with three straight clean sheets. They haven’t been scoring a lot, despite having some top forwards in their fold. In the last five matches they’ve managed over one goal in just one game, while they’ve failed to score in two of the five. Uruguay’s last game ended 0-0 against Colombia, who went on to win on post match penalties at the Copa America. They haven’t scored in the last three World Cup qualification matches and have three clean sheets too in three of the last five. Away from home, in World Cup qualifiers, Uruguay have three clean sheets in the last four. Matches between these two nations have been close lately – four of the last six have ended with under 2.5 goals. Uruguay have three wins and Peru one in the last six meetings; all wins have been with one-goal margins.
