World champions Argentina will be hoping to return to their winning ways as they visit Peru for the 2026 world cup qualification match on Tuesday night. Lionel Scaloni’s side, who are top of the section, will enter the match off the back of a shock 2-1 loss to Paraguay, while ninth-placed Peru drew 0-0 with basement team Chile in their last game.

Team News
Argentina will be without the services of Cristian Romero on Tuesday, with the Tottenham Hotspur centre-back missing due to the foot injury which forced him off the field against Paraguay. Manchester United’s Lisandro Martinez was also forced to pull out of the squad due to an issue related to his hip and his back, so Argentina have issues in the middle of their defense. Leonardo Balerdi is therefore in line to win his fifth cap alongside Nicolas Otamendi, but there are not expected to be any further changes, with Man United’s Alejandro Garnacho set to remain on the bench. Messi will take to the field for the 191st time in an Argentina shirt, while Julian Alvarez should feature in a wide area, with the 24-year-old looking to add to his 11 goals for the national side.
On the other hand, Peru has not reported any injury news in their recent clash against Chile last time out and therefore it would be a surprise to see the same XI take to the field for this match. Paolo Guerrero’s fitness will need to be assessed, with the forward making his 123rd appearance for his country at the age of 40 last time out, and Gianluca Lapadula will be under consideration to start. Luis Advincula is again likely to feature in a wing-back area for Peru in this contest, while Sergio Pena is in line for another start in the middle of midfield, with his substitution against Chile a tactical decision rather than a fitness problem.
Probable Line-Ups
Argentina XI: E Martinez; Molina, Balerdi, Otamendi, Tagliafico; De Paul, Fernandez; Messi, Mac Allister, Alvarez; L Martinez
Peru XI: Caceda; Corzo, Araujo, Callens; Polo, Sonne, Cartagena, Pena, Advincula; Guerrero, Valera
Verdict.
Peru’s lack of goals in the section is a real concern, and we just cannot see the visitors damaging Argentina here. The world cup holders will be determined to bounce back, and we are backing them to emerge victorious with a routine two-goal success.
Bet on Argentina win
Reason: Argentina is favored to win due to their deeper and more experienced squad, and if they take advantage of their attacking strengths, they should secure the victory.
