The October international break brings another double-header in the South American 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. Chile will host Peru at the Estadio Monumental David Arellano on Thursday on Matchday 3.
The hosts have endured an underwhelming start to their World Cup qualifying campaign, kicking things off with a 3-1 defeat to Uruguay before playing out a goalless draw against Colombia in their second game.
As a result, La Roja sit eighth in the group table with just one point from two games and will be looking to make the home advantage count this Thursday. They face a Peru side who have had a similarly difficult start, and are also languishing in the bottom-half of the table.
The visitors held on for a point in a goalless draw against Paraguay in their first qualifying clash thanks to the goalkeeping heroics from Pedro Gallese. They then fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Brazil in their second match as Marquinhos headed home in the 90th-minute to scoop all three points for the Selecao.

Team news & squads
Chile team news
Chile boss Eduardo Berizzo has again called up a relatively experienced squad for the two upcoming October qualifiers. However, veteran midfielder Arturo Vidal is a notable omission, with the 36-year-old sidelined with a knee injury.
On the flip side, another stalwart of La Roja, Alexis Sanchez, will spearhead the attack as the Inter Milan forward aims to add to his record of 51 goals in 156 international caps. Villarreal's Ben Brereton Diaz will be providing further attacking support from the left flank, with seven goals already to his name in 23 national team appearances.
