Peru Preview – Can Peru get anything in home clash?
Although they made a reasonable start to this World Cup qualifying campaign with a 2-2 draw earned away from home at Paraguay, Thursday’s hosts, Peru, have since suffered a slump in their subsequent group matches, losing their last three games on the trot.
Defeats against Brazil, Chile and Argentina have resulted in Peru dropping down the South American qualifying table to second from bottom position and level on points with the bottom nation, Bolivia, prior to this midweek clash against Colombia.
With just four wins out of their last 13 World Cup qualifiers at home, Peru may struggle again in this upcoming encounter against Colombia as the hosts have failed to beat the visitors in each of the previous nine meetings.
Colombia Preview – Can Colombia avoid third loss on trot?
Following back-to-back defeats against Uruguay and Ecuador back in November, Colombia will be eager to set the record straight in Lima on Thursday night against struggling Peru, and another three points for the visitors here could see Colombia jump into the top four of the qualifying group.
Colombia had earlier made a promising start to their World Cup qualifying campaign as they registered a 3-0 home win over Venezuela before picking up a useful point in a 2-2 draw away from home at Chile.
The visitors have also suffered just one defeat out of their last five qualifiers away from home and Colombia should at least avoid defeat in Peru on Thursday night as well.
