Peru

The "Rojiblancos" pleasantly surprised at the 2018 World Cup, putting up a fight in a group with France, Denmark, and Australia. However, the World Cup in Qatar went ahead without the Peruvian team. It seems likely that the "Incas" will also miss out on the 2026 World Cup. Currently, Jorge Fossati's team has only two points from six matches. Peru has lost not only to the South American giants but also to mid-level teams like Bolivia. The Peruvian team prepared well for the tournament, securing three victories over Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, and El Salvador, and drawing with Paraguay. Their first match at Copa America against Chile also ended in a 0-0 draw.

Canada

Since 1986, the Canadian national team had been unable to qualify for the World Cup until they miraculously won the CONCACAF qualifying tournament in early 2022, surpassing strong teams like Mexico, the USA, and Costa Rica. At the World Cup, however, Canada did not perform well and finished with zero points in a group with Belgium, Croatia, and Morocco. Nonetheless, the World Cup participation allowed several Canadian players to gain recognition and join clubs like Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, and Lille. This year, the Canadian team defeated Trinidad and Tobago 2-0 in the CONCACAF Nations League. They also played two friendly matches, with one particularly impressive result. After a heavy 0-4 defeat to the Netherlands, Canada drew 0-0 away against France, who fielded their strongest lineup. Canada attempted a similar defensive strategy against Argentina but managed to keep a clean sheet only in the first half. The world champions scored twice in the second half, winning their first-round match.

Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history

• The teams have played only once before, in September 2010, when Peru defeated Canada 2-0 on their home turf.
• Canada has failed to score in three consecutive matches.
• Peru is unbeaten in six consecutive matches – three wins and three draws.

Peru vs Canada Prediction

Bookmakers give a slight edge to Canada, with their victory odds at 2.41. The Peruvians did not impress in the first round, so our bet is "Canada to win with a handicap (0)" at odds of 1.70.
