In the third round of the qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup, the Peruvian National Team will face Paraguay on Friday, aiming to secure their first three points.
Considering that André Carrillo, Juan Manuel Vargas, and the expelled Christian Cueva will not be available against Paraguay, how should Peru line up? Pancho Cairo, the sports editor of Perú21, analyzes the current moment of each player.
"I believe that Peru can defeat Paraguay and secure these crucial three points to stay alive in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers," says Pancho Cairo. For this, the national team must overcome the burden of the first two defeats suffered in the qualifiers.
Peru and Paraguay will clash on Friday at 9:15 p.m. at the Estadio Nacional. The Paraguayans currently have four points, thanks to a victory against Venezuela and a draw against Argentina, while Peru has yet to secure any points.
