The peruvian team started playing these Qualifying Qatar 2022 with the calculator. The usual, but with resources -with Ricardo Gareca and the squad – which are exciting for the comeback, but with a fixture that tells us that a new feat must be achieved to reach the World Cup.
The victory against Chile in Lima gave us life, the defeat against Bolivia in La Paz once again placed us on the edge of the abyss, forcing the Bicolor to join in more than complicated matches, such as this Thursday against Argentina in Buenos Aires.
Sunday night saw perhaps the best Argentina in recent years: it beat Uruguay 3-0 with Lionel Messi in his prime. In addition, the Albicelestes play so comfortable that they have not received yellow in their last four games.
Therefore, although every team plays to win, the plan of the Peruvian team could well have in one of its paragraphs: And below we present the possible scenarios for the Bicolor of how the triple date could end after the duel against the albiceleste.
BEST SCENARIO
Without a doubt, the best thing would be to win in Buenos Aires, but we put this scenario as real as possible and we bet on a draw against Argentina. Today, Peru is seventh and four points behind fifth, the placement that leads to the playoffs.
The best scenario is undoubtedly that none of our direct rivals add three, therefore, draws would be ideal, except in the match between Brazil and Uruguay, where the ‘Scratch’ must win for the Charrúa to lower the squad of the half.
| Best scenario | Table | conclusion |
|---|---|---|
| Colombia vs. Ecuador – tie Brazil vs. Uruguay Bolivia vs. Paraguay – tie Chile vs. Venezuela – tie Argentina vs. Peru – tie | 1 . BRA – 31 2. ARG – 23 3. ECU – 17 4. COL – 16 5. URU -16 6. BY – 13 7. PER – 12 8. CHI – 11 9. BOL – 10 VEN – 8 | Peru will remain seventh It remains four points behind the fifth * In case of a victory, it would be two |
LIKELY / WORST SCENARIO
However, looking at the table and latest returns. There is a probable scenario, where all the locals win their matches. That involves Peru being defeated by Argentina.
Except for Bolivia-Paraguay, the venues of the other matches have enough reasons to consider the three points on their list. Chile won again after seven games and receives Venezuela and Colombia faces an irregular Ecuador. From Brazil and Argentina, not to mention.
| Probable scenario | Table | Conclusions |
|---|---|---|
| Colombia vs. Ecuador Brazil vs. Uruguay Bolivia vs. Paraguay Chile vs. Venezuela Argentina vs. Peru | 1 . BRA – 31 2. ARG – 2 3. COL – 18 4. ECU – 16 5. URU -16 6. CHI – 13 7. BY – 12 8. BOL – 12 9. PER – 11 VEN – 7 | We fall to the 9th Five from fifth Two from the sixth – The worst case scenario is that URU beat BRA, but only would affect the table Charruas. |
Unfortunately, the worst case scenario is not far from the probable one, as already said, it would make Bolivia surpass us in the table. This would only be aggravated if Uruguay breaks that trend and is able to win in Brazil, because it would take a breather and would be consolidating in third place. If he ties, he would be fourth and yes, with 17 points he would be in the middle squad.
And if the Charrúas get complicated, it makes them an even more difficult rival for when we have to visit them in Montevideo, on the penultimate date of the contest.
