Australia vs Peru Prediction

• Where: Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, Qatar
• When: Monday, June 13, 10 pm local time

The World Cup playoffs are nearing their end, and we have two more games before completing the entire list of participants. One of them is the clash between Australia and Peru at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in Qatar, the venue of the upcoming World Cup. Both sides had to go through a lot to reach here, and that’s why we expect to see one hell of a game on Monday evening.

Australia vs. Peru Preview

Australia

The Socceroos didn’t meet the expectations in these qualifiers, and may we add that this unit disappointed lots of fans. First of all, they were third in their respective World Cup qualifiers group, and after that barely defeated the United Arab Emirates in the Asian playoffs, 1-2. 

This was the second win in a row for this crew, who also managed to post a success against Jordan in the friendly international a few days before the clash vs. UAE. Previously, Australia had just one victory in seven WCQ events, which was, in fact, the main reason for having to play in the playoffs. 

The Aussies are pretty bad on the road, and the last six outings ended with them allowing at least one goal. The defense is pretty fragile, and even tough midfielders often help a lot, this team has problems in protecting its net. Those same events were usually efficient because Australia scores frequently, to be precise, in five of the previous six road trips. 

Peru

This South American nation reached the World Cup in Russia after 28 years of waiting, and they have a chance to make another participation now, which would be a massive success for this country. Peru had an exhausting and challenging quest in the CONMEBOL qualifiers, but due to a very good finish, it reached the playoffs. 

In the past nine games, Peru lost only once and had two draws, winning six times. Back on June 5, they met with New Zealand, who is also playing in the playoffs, beating the Kiwis 1-0. That was the fourth time in the last five of their games to see only one side netting. 

Of course, the efficiency of Blanquirroja’s events is low, with sic in the past seven finishing with under 2.5 scores. Defense is their primary assignment, and only after that attacking.

Australia vs Peru Head to Head

Interestingly, these two nations met at the World Cup in Russia four years ago, and the Peruvian side won 0-2. It was a group stage affair, and eventually, both teams were eliminated.

Australia vs. Peru Prediction

Australia’s defense is weak, inconsistent, and soft, while on the other side, Peru has a strong back line. We are aware that the Socceroos’ forwards are way better than the colleagues from the defense, but still, they won’t have too many chances to show that against Peru. The South American unit is looking better than the Aussies, which is why we bet on their victory.

Our verdict: Peru
