Peru vs Paraguay: Numbers you need to know before their Copa America 2021 encounter

Paraguay have a strong squad

For a team that often pulls off upsets against the likes of Brazil and Argentina, Paraguay have a surprisingly poor record against Peru. Of the last seven matches played between these two teams. Peru have managed six victories and one game has ended in a draw.

Paraguay last defeated Peru an astonishing seven years ago and have since conceded 13 goals in the seven games played between the two teams. The Paraguayans have scored only five goals in their last six games and face a stern challenge this weekend.

Final in Rio de Janeiro. Uruguay 1-0 Paraguay. La Albirroja showed a different attitude in the 2nd half but once again were unable to demonstrate any clear-cut chances onto goal against a Celeste side playing a defensive low block.Up next? Peru on Friday in the quarterfinals.

Only Bolivia have a worse defensive record than Peru in Copa America 2021 at the moment. Peru have conceded seven goals in the competition so far with four of those goals scored by reigning champions Brazil.

Peru are winless in five consecutive home games at the moment and are yet to hit their peak with a new generation of players. The Peruvians suffered three consecutive defeats at home before Copa America and have plenty of work to do ahead of this match.
