Peru and three gold points: What results does the bicolor need to ensure its presence in Qatar 2022?

The overwhelming pressure of a full stadium in Barranquilla did not stop the World Cup dream of Peru. A sacrificed performance of the national team, who won 1-0 against Colombia with a goal by Edison Flores, keeps more than alive the hopes of millions of Peruvians, who dream of a new World Cup. the end of the road to qatar 2022 it is already very close, but there is still nothing to celebrate. There are still nine points to play for and we cannot afford to be overconfident.

. The national squad has a one point advantage over Uruguay, three over the ‘coffee growers’ and four over Chile at the close of date 15 of the Qualifiers.

Now what Peru It needs, to stay in that privileged place, is not to be careless with the two remaining challenges that it has, especially as a local.

. In this context, the ‘Blanquirroja’ must maintain their unbeaten record against the ‘Guaraníes’ to close with a flourish.

Of course, taking into account that the objective is to ensure the World Cup classification, avoiding any subsequent inconvenience.

In fact, although Peru depends on itself, for the time being, it is still necessary to look askance at the results of the other direct rivals, especially if the goals of winning at home and getting at least one point in Montevideo are not achieved. All Peruvians must be attentive to what happens mainly with Colombia, Uruguay and Chile, which are the ones that are still fighting with the national team.

– Direct rivals –

Although, taking into account the fixture that remains for ‘La Roja’ and its adverse present, it suits us that the Charrúas fall.

Before Uruguay, Chile will visit Bolivia in La Paz, where they have not done so badly statistically in the Qualifiers (3 wins, 3 losses and 1 draw). Although then he has to travel to Brazil and in the field of ‘Scratch’ he has always lost.

Uruguay he does have two home games (against Venezuela and Peru) and hopes to add the most points in Montevideo. As Peru was already mentioned, in this context, it would be more beneficial for ‘La Roja’ to win at home.

For its part, Colombia He has a very complicated challenge on Tuesday during his visit to Argentina, whom he only beat once as a visitor (1994 Qualifiers). It is convenient for Peru that the ‘Albiceleste’ continues to demonstrate its local authority before the ‘coffee growers’. Later, he will receive Bolivia (who he always won) and will close his visit to Venezuela.

In fact, the clash between Colombians and Venezuelans will be more momentous than it may seem. In that sense, the “Blanquirroja” needs this almost undefeated streak in Venezuela to be maintained in order to have more chances of going to Qatar 2022.
