Peru will host Paraguay at the Estadio Monumental in a friendly on Wednesday (November 16) ahead of the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The hosts had mixed results in their World Cup qualifiers but secured a playoff spot with a 2-0 win over La Albirroja in their final group game. They were, however, knocked out by Australia in the playoff final, losing on penalties after the game had ended goalless in normal time. Peru will now look to shake off their latest results and pick up a win at home.
Paraguay, meanwhile, will miss out on a third straight World Cup this year after featuring in the previous two editions. They endured a poor qualification campaign, winning just three of their 18 games to finish a lowly eighth in the standings with just 16 points from an obtainable 54.
The visitors, however, are enjoying a good run of results at the moment and will look to keep the streak going.
