Introduction – Argentina vs Peru Prediction 2023
Argentina and Peru will face off on Wednesday, January 25th, in a match valid for the fourth round of the first phase of the South American Under-20 Championship. The game will be played at the Estadio Olimpico Pascual Guerrero, which is located in the city of Cali, Colombia (host country of the tournament), and has a capacity for about 36,000 fans.
The teams last faced each other in January 2019, also in the first phase of a South American Under-20 Championship. In the match, the Argentinians defeated the opponents by 1×0. It is worth noting that the Peruvians have never won against their rivals in official matches of this category.
Argentina
After two defeats in the first encounters of this South American Under-20, Argentina comes to this game against Peru, already being eliminated. The defeat to Brazil, in the previous round, by 3×1, complicated the situation of the country’s team. Now, to continue with chances of advancing to the decisive hexagonal, the Argentinians need a victory at all costs.
Still without scoring points, Argentina holds fourth place in Group A. As Colombia, currently in third place in the group, already has four points and still plays in the round, even a draw can sanctify the early fall of the Argentinians. To avoid this, the main hope of the country’s team is in midfielder Máximo Perrone, recently signed by Manchester City.
Peru
On the other side of the confrontation, only fulfilling the schedule, will be Peru. With three matches played and three defeats, the team is already eliminated from this South American Under-20. The fall of the Peruvians was confirmed in the last round, when the country’s team was surpassed by Paraguay, by 1×0.
Also without scoring points, like Argentina, Peru is the last in this Group A of the competition. In addition to the poor position, the team’s attack has been one of the least annoying in the tournament, with only one goal scored so far. Responsible for this one goal, Diether Vásquez is one of the few names that calls some attention in the Peruvian selection.
Argentina vs Peru Prediction 2023
With two teams that have not yet scored points in this South American Under-20 on the field, the tendency is for a tense game. However, as it needs the result and will face an already eliminated rival, Argentina has good chances of winning without major scares. Even if a landslide seems unlikely, we should not have a slim score, such as 1×0.
Therefore, there are some good opportunities in which bettors can keep an eye on. The main opportunity seems to be in ‘over 2.5 goals’. The Peruvian defense has not shown any security in previous games and should suffer. In the same way, Argentina may end up being scored on even by the inefficient attack of Peru.
Furthermore, the Asian handicap of -1.5 in favor of Argentina is another option that may be interesting. After all, even if Peru scores a goal, Argentina should not have much difficulty winning. Therefore, a victory by two goals or more difference seems quite possible.
