Chile will host Peru at the Estadio Monumental David Arellano on Thursday in another round of their 2026 CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers.
The home side have had a slow start to their World Cup qualifying campaign, kicking things off with a 3-1 defeat to Uruguay and were three goals down before Arturo Vidal scored a late consolation goal. They then faced Colombia in their second game, playing out a goalless draw to record a fourth consecutive winless outing against Los Cafeteros.
Chile sit eighth in the group table with one point from two games and will be looking to add to that tally this week.
Peru, meanwhile, held on for a goalless draw against Paraguay in their first qualifying clash and had the heroics of goalkeeper Pedro Gallese to thank for picking up the sole point. They were then beaten 1-0 by Brazil in their second match and had looked set to be headed toward another point before Marquinhos headed home a late winner for the Seleção.
The visitors have also picked up just one point in the qualifiers so far and will be looking to pick up their first win on Thursday.
