The selection of Peru enters this unmotivated party, after a snub, by 2-3, in a friendly against Costa Rica. The Peruvians usually act in a 4-3-3, favoring a slower style of play, channeling their game through the central corridor. In this tactical design, the three players usually chosen to act on the attack line are Flores, Polo and Ruidía, the latter being the player responsible for putting the opponent’s defensive sense into play. However, as it is a friendly match, we believe that the Peru coach will choose to give less-used players a chance, such as Yotún, Zela and Carrillo.
