Peru vs Scotland Prediction & Betting tips
On the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, Peru will be in Lima, Scotland. For the Peruvians, the World Cup is just around the corner. For eight finals, the South Americans are waiting for a participation in a World Cup. In Extremis, the team around striker and captain Paolo Guerrero secured the qualification. The situation is different with the opponent. Scotland failed again and failed England and Slovakia in the group stage. Most recently, the Scots participated in the World Cup in France. Scotland was extremely short of qualifying for the Barrage. The game in Lima will not be easy for the Europeans. In the Estadio Nacional de Lima Peru conceded only nine defeats in nine home games in qualifying for the World Cup in Russia. Only Brazil and Chile abducted points from Peru in qualifying. Accordingly, the odds are high on a victory of Scotland. In some cases, odds up to 13.00 can be achieved! Nevertheless, I credit the Europeans outsider chances.
Peru:
The population in Peru is experiencing a sea of emotions. The qualifying in South America for the World Cup in Russia could not have been closer. After 18 rounds played, Argentina, Colombia, Peru and Chile only split two points. Since Peru played only a draw in the last two games, the Peruvians occupied only fifth place. In the duel against Colombia Guerrero provided with his sixth goal in qualifying for the equalizer. Thanks to a better goal difference against Chile, La Blanquirroja secured the rank for the Barrage. In the relegation, the South Americans dueled with New Zealand. As Paolo Guerrero was suspended by FIFA for positive drug control in the meantime, Peru had to play these two important games without the top star. If the nerves of the Peruvians had not been stressed enough already, the first leg ended goalless. In the second leg in the sold-out Estadio Nacional Farfan scored in the 28th minute, the much celebrated leadership. In the second half Ramos doubled and secured his country the first participation in a World Championship finals in 36 years! However, this will probably take place without the record scorer. The objection of Paolo Guerrero was rejected by the CAS in Lausanne. The 34-year-old, however, passed the verdict on to the highest Swiss court. The federal court is thus the last hope for the over 32 million Peruvians who want to see Paolo Guerrero necessarily at the World Cup. Whether the failure is the low odds for a tip on Peru worthwhile?
Scotland:
Equally exciting was the qualification in Group F on the European continent. With just one match to go, Scotland finished in second place with 17 points, followed by Slovakia with fifteen points. In the previous round, Scotland secured this excellent starting position thanks to a victory in direct duel against Slovakia. On the last day of the match, the Slovaks won 3-0 against Malta without a discussion. At the same time, the Scots did not get past a 2-2 draw with Slovenia. Therefore, they were only third in the standings and were thus again not eligible for the finals. Despite the second group place, Slovakia did not qualify for the Barrage, as they were the worst runners-up of all groups.
Since 2000, Scotland has not participated in any major tournament. The main reason is certainly the squad. Leigh Griffiths and Robert Snodgrass were the top scorers of the Scots with four goals each. The two achieved about half of all hits of their team. With a cut of 1.7 goals scored per game, the Bravehearts also keep up with the top nations. The defensive, however, is worse than usual from the British. Scotland conceded twelve goals in ten games, without conceding in four games. Also against Peru the defensive of the Europeans will have trouble. Nevertheless, I expect that Scotland scores few goals. After all, the defense convinced in recent friendlies. Scotland travels to Peru with an inexperienced elf.
