Argentina vs Peru: 5 factors that could make a difference

#3 Argentina's poor form

Argentina face Peru at home in a must-win qualification match

Jorge Sampaoli's men are on a disastrous run of form. The dip in the performances of the Albiceleste came after the 2014 World Cup. Edgardo Bauza disastrous stint at national manager was followed by Sampaoli taking over the fellow Argentine. The ex-Sevilla manager was expected to drive Argentina to Russia, but the situation hasn't improved.

Recent draws with Uruguay and Venezuela, following a shocking defeat to Bolivia, has landed them in a tricky situation, where the men in White and Blue are in serious danger of missing out next year's global tournament. To the frustration of the fans, Argentina's last competitive victory was in March, against Chile.
