World Cup Qualifiers - Round 17: Predicted Odds, Speculations, and Potential Wins for Uruguay vs Peru
Uruguay and Peru are set to face off in a crucial South American CONMEBOL qualifier for the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Friday, September 4, 2025, at the Centenario Stadium in Montevideo, Uruguay.
The host nation, currently fourth with 24 points in the qualifiers, is in a better position to secure a spot in the World Cup, as Peru has no direct chances of qualifying. Uruguay, under the guidance of Marcelo Bielsa, has shown impressive form, winning 14 out of 28 games under his management.
Marcelo Bielsa has named his starting lineup for the match, with Sergio Rochet in goal, Sebastian Caceres, Mathias Olivera, Joaquin Piquerez (Matias Vina), Federico Valverde, Rodrigo Bentancur, Arrascaeta, Facundo Pellistri, Brian Rodriguez, and Rodrigo Aguirre making up the rest of the team.
On the Peruvian side, only Erick Noriega from Gremio has been called up. The Peruvian lineup includes Pedro Gallese in goal, Luis Advincula, Renzo Garcia, Abram, Marcos Lopez, Erick Noriega, Yoshimar Yotun, Quevedo, Gonzalez, Cabrera (Polo), and Luis Ramos.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 20:30 (Brasília time) and will be broadcast on Sportv.
Predictions for the match suggest a low-scoring, disciplined encounter. Bet365 offers odds of 1.72 for less than 8.5 corner kicks and less than 4.5 yellow cards in the match. Esportes da Sorte offers odds of 1.88 for Uruguay winning without conceding a goal.
Facundo Raul Tello Figueroa from Argentina will be the referee for the match.
Uruguay needs a win to ensure qualification for the World Cup, while Peru needs to win their last two qualifier matches, against Uruguay and Paraguay at home, and hope Venezuela and Bolivia don't gain points to qualify for the World Cup.
This promises to be an exciting and tense match, with both teams eager to secure a place in the World Cup. Fans can look forward to a thrilling encounter at the Centenario Stadium.
