Peru vs New Zealand Prediction & Betting tips
At the Estadio National on November 16 at 02:15 in the Peruvian capital Lima, one of the last World Cup tickets to Russia will take place. The national team of Peru meets in the play-off second leg on the blatant outsider from New Zealand. The first leg of the two teams in Wellington ended 0-0.
Peru :
The current tenth of Fifa World Ranking Peru had the first leg over 90 minutes, despite their suspended under suspected doping captain Paolo Guerrero under control, but missed his good chance to turn into goals. In its own capital, Peru now has all the advantages of being able to participate in a World Cup finals for the first time in 36 years. In order to finally make it to the fifth World Cup participation in Peru, Peru has already secured the services of Argentinean coach Ricardo Gareca during the World Cup group stage. Under Gareca, the South Americans had made a veritable comeback in the second leg of the South American qualifiers and even secured a direct ticket to Russia. With many seasoned players in the squad, it now has to work without their captain Guerrero in the second leg. In the first leg acted the former Schalke Jefferson Farfan as the only tip. With Andre Carillo, Christian Cueva and Renato Tapia, Peru has even more offensive power to offer. For the second leg Peru is the clear favorite.
Gallese – Trauco, Rodriguez, Abram, Corzo – Yotun, Tapia – Flores, Cueva, Carillo – Farfan
New Zealand :
New Zealand failed to take advantage of the home-grown play-off first leg at the sold-out Westpac Stadium (38,500 spectators) to take advantage of the return leg in Peru. Over the entire season, the outsider was limited to the defensive and came offensive rarely in appearance. Shortly before the start of the game failed striker Chris Woods, came on 20 minutes before the end despite his thigh problems but still came in by a free kick, the best opportunity of the hosts. The free kick was defused by a strong save from Peru keeper Gallese. After the 0-0 first leg result in the second leg for the kiwis everything is still in it. If you manage the sensation against the South Americans, it would be the third World Cup participation for New Zealand. New Zealand was last at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. For the crucial second leg, the only 36-year-old coach of the New Zealander, Anthony Hudson, but has to come up with a real master plan, he wants to do something with his team against Peru. The task is huge with only a few internationally experienced players. Much will also depend on the use of striker Chris Woods, who upgraded the team of New Zealanders enormously. One thing is certain, the Kiwis have to push for a goal abroad, then it could be enough against favored South Americans for the hoped-for World Cup ticket.
