Peru’s path forward is simple: win and the team is heading to the playoff round in June where it will face the AFC representative.
La Blanquirroja is looking to return to the World Cup for the second time in a row. Before appearing in Russia in 2018, Peru hadn’t played on football’s biggest stage since 1982.
Christian Cueva, the 30-year-old midfielder for Al-Fateh, has been the top goalscorer during this window for Peru, with five of them so far.
Projected Peru starting XI: Callens, Zambrano, Tapia, Trauco, Advíncula, Yotún, Peña, Cueva, Carrillo, Lapadula; Gallese

Los Guaraníes sits in eight place in the standings with 16 points. While the team won’t be advancing, it could still play spoiler. Last week, Paraguay defeated Ecuador 3-1, the first win for Paraguay since September, which ended a run of five losses and two draws.
This will be the third World Cup in a row that Paraguay will miss.
Angel Romero of Cruz Azul has four goals so far in this competition, though two of them came way back on the first matchday.
Projected Paraguay starting XI: Gomez, Balbuena, Cubas, Riveros, Rojas, Ortíz, Almiron, Sanchez, Enciso, Morales; Silva
