While Argentina ranks second in the South American World Cup standings, which would give it a direct ticket to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Peru (eighth place, 11 points) is struggling just to stay alive for the playoff. place awarded to fifth place.

Led by Argentine Ricardo Gareca, Peru will look to make life difficult for Argentina and try to come out with at least one draw, especially given the absence of several of its most influential players.

Argentina vs. Peru: betting odds and prediction

Fees courtesy of DraftKings

Choose: Under 2.75 total Asian goals (+105)

Especially in light of their absences, Peru will likely aim to leave the city with a draw. That would require a conservative strategy based on interrupting the flow of the game. You don’t want to get into a court match against Argentina’s transition game.

For an example of what to expect, take Peru’s away game in Brazil in September: 29 combined fouls, nine total yellow cards and just five total shots on target. In the October 2017 goalless draw in Buenos Aires, also with Gareca as their coach, Peru only fired two shots.

The goal total under 2.5 (+125) has a shot in this game, but the Asian total is a safer game. In Peru’s last nine qualifiers, only two have seen three or more goals. Two of Argentina’s five home qualifying games have been passed. And when these two teams played in Peru in November 2020, it was a 2-0 Argentina victory.

The Asian total under 2.75 refunds half the bet if it is exactly a three goal game.

Prediction: Argentina 2, Peru 0

  • Money line: Argentina -575 | Draw +650 | Peru +1600
  • Spread: Argentina -2.5 (+145) | Peru +2.5 (-190)
  • O / U 2.5 total goals: Over -155 | Less than +125
  • Both teams will score: Yes +180 | No -240
