Peru will host Bolivia at the Estadio de la UNSA in Arequipa on Saturday (November 20) in a friendly as both sides close out the calendar year.
Los Incas failed to secure back-to-back qualifications for the World Cup after losing out to Australia on penalties in the intercontinental playoffs in June this year. After the two teams were locked goalless after extra time, the Socceroos prevailed 5-4 in the shootout after Alex Valera missed the decisive kick for Peru.
Juan Reynoso's side have played three friendlies since then, losing one and winning twice, while their upcoming clash will be their last of the year.
Bolivia, meanwhile, saw their wait for a first World Cup appearance since 1994 continue following a disappointing qualifying campaign. La Verde finished second from bottom in the CONMEBOL standings with 15 points from 18 games - only Venezuela (10) accumulated fewer points.
