Argentina to Win to Nil
It’s no surprise that Argentina is the clear favourite in this game since they are still undefeated in the group and only behind Brazil in terms of points, so they already have one foot in Qatar. So, we expect Argentina to win, but we expect them to do it without conceding a goal. Our prediction is based on the fact that Argentina kept a clean sheet in half of their games in these Qualifiers, while Peru failed to score in 45% of their matches in the group.
Under 2.5 Total Goals
Two of the previous three head-to-head duels between Argentina and Peru have gone under 2.5 total goals, so we wouldn’t be surprised if we see another low-scoring game between these two teams. In addition to this, Argentina averaged 2.4 goals per game in these Qualifiers, while Peru averaged 2.55 goals per game so far.
Lionel Messi to Score at Any Time
The Argentinian legend has been in great form in these Qualifiers, which is hardly surprising for a player that’s one of the best in the history of the game. With six goals, Messi is only behind Moreno on the list of top goalscorers in these Qualifiers, so we expect Messi to add to his tally by scoring at least once against Peru.

Argentina vs Peru preview: Can Peru surprise us all?
While the home team is already halfway to Qatar, the guests are among teams trying to find their way in. So, let’s take a closer look at both teams right now.
Argentina
With six wins and four draws in the first ten rounds of these Qualifiers, Argentina is currently in the second place in the standings and the only undefeated team in the group next to Brazil. With more than a half of matches played, it’s clear that Argentina will play in Qatar, but they still need to finish the job in the next few rounds – starting with their next game with Peru at home.
Peru
Losing to Bolivia in the previous round has seriously hurt Peru’s chances of making the World Cup, but there is still time for them to make up for that result. At the moment, Peru has 11 points from 11 games, which puts them five points behind the fifth place that leads to the playoffs. So, the team needs to get into form as soon as possible if they want to play at the biggest stage.
