Saudi Arabia vs Peru Prediction & Betting tips
At Kybunpark in St. Gallen, Switzerland, the two selections from Saudi Arabia and Peru meet each other on Sunday. Both teams will be present at the World Cup in Russia, but they are not even among the winners in the extended group of favorites. Reaching the knockout phase would be a success for both. Saudi Arabia will have a very special status at the World Cup. Because the Saudis meet host Russia in the opening game.
Saudi Arabia:
Saudi Arabia has the great honor of opening the World Cup in Russia against its hosts on 14 June 2018. The other opponents in Group A are Uruguay and Egypt. The progress is not impossible, but Russia and Uruguay are the clear favorites to reach the round of 16. In Group B qualifying in Asia, Saudi Arabia finished second behind Japan and ahead of Australia. With six wins, one draw and three defeats, Saudi Arabia had 19 points and as many as Australia. Only due to the better goal relation to Australia Saudi Arabia solved the ticket for Russia directly. In the last qualifier, the Saudis beat group winner Japan 1-0.
After qualifying, Saudi Arabia played 15 international matches. Saudi Arabia won six games and the Saudis lost seven times. In May alone, Saudi Arabia played three friendly matches. Against Algeria and Greece, the Green Hawks were able to win 2-0. The last test was on Monday. Against Italy, which was not known to qualify for the World Cup, Saudi Arabia lost just 1: 2, the Squadra Azzurra was inferior to the odds of 7:22 but still far-flung over long distances. The cadre of Saudi Arabia has no known names. Although Salem Al-Dawsari, Yehya Al-Shehri and Fahad Al-Muwallad were on loan to Villarreal, Leganes and Levante, these players are unlikely to be known to very few fans.
Peru:
Peru was the last team to jump on the World Cup train. The Peruvians had as Fifth of qualifying in South America in the playoffs and there ran against New Zealand. After the 0-0 in the first leg Peru could win the second leg at home with 2: 0. However, reaching the playoffs was a bit happy. On the final day of qualifying Peru reached a 1-1 home defeat at home to Colombia. Because Chile lost at the same time in the already qualified qualifying selection of Brazil and Paraguay almost sensationally lost its home game against the knocked-down position Venezuela also, this handed a counter against the Colombians for fifth place. Looking at the last results of the national team of Peru, reaching the finals of the World Cup is not undeserved.
For the entire calendar year 2017, Peru remained unbeaten! In ten internationals there were six wins and four draws. Among them, for example, was a respectable draw in the goalless draw in Argentina. So far this year, Peru has been following up on its strong performance in 2017. All three internationals in this calendar year could win Peru. With Croatia (2-0), Iceland (3-1) and Scotland (2-0), Peru beat well-known opponents sovereign. In Russia, Peru makes the opening match against Denmark and has subsequently ran against France and Australia. Second place behind the French is certainly not impossible, but will still be a tough job. Even in Peru you are looking for the big names in vain. Only Jefferson Farfan of Lokomotiv Moscow and possibly Andre Carrillo of Watford FC should say something to fans right away.
