The visitors have just one win in their last six games in all competitions and will take to the pitch for the first time in 2024. In their previous outing, they suffered a 1-0 home loss to Colombia in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in November.

Peru vs Paraguay Prediction
La Bicolor have won their two games in 2024 thus far, scoring six goals while conceding just six goals, and will look to keep their winning streak intact. They are unbeaten in their last 11 meetings against the visitors, recording nine wins, and are strong favorites.
La Albirroja have seen a drop in form recently and have just one win in their last six games in all competitions. They have scored just one goal in these games and might struggle here. They have failed to score in six of their last seven away meetings against the hosts, which is a cause for concern.
Considering the current form of the two teams and the hosts' dominance in the head-to-head record recently, Peru should be able to register a comfortable win and the odds of a clean sheet also look good.
