Argentina has firmly secured its spot in the knockout stage. Barring some improbable twists in Group A’s final matches, the world champions are set to advance as the top team. On the other hand, Peru needs luck and several things to advance to the knockout stage, among them a big win.
Before Betting on Argentina vs. Peru
The reigning world champions can afford to take a breather in this match, which means head coach Scaloni will likely rotate his squad and give some of his key players, including Messi, a rest. Inter Miami’s star had one nasty knock in the previous game, and there’s no need for him to play.
Argentina has seven wins in a row now, with the previous defeat coming at the hands of Uruguay. Prior to that, Saudi Arabia was the one to beat the Gauchos, and these two units were the only ones in the previous 58 meetings to beat the world champions.
Peru needs a two or three-goal triumph, and even then, Albirroja might fail to reach the quarterfinals. They also need to see a suitable result in the match between Canada and Chile, meaning they aren’t holding everything in their hands.
Peru’s conservatism on the pitch is evident, as seen from their recent games. Four of their last five matches have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, mostly because of their defensive-minded gameplan.

Over their last 32 clashes, Peru triumphed only on three occasions, and we can say that Albirroja presents one of Argentina’s favorite customers.

Argentina has a much better team, and even with Scaloni leaving Messi and most of the first-team players on the bench, they will be able to compete with Peru, which isn’t gifted in the attack. This game should be dull and slow, so under 2.5 goals is a must. For those looking to risk, betting on a red card for Peru could be an intriguing option.
