Peru vs Uruguay: the danger and double negative effect of a defeat of the white and red in the Qatar 2022 Qualifying match

Peru vs Uruguay: the white roja against the charrua team is playing their chances of qualifying for the World Cup in the match valid for the 17th date of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers.

Peru vs Uruguay will be a decisive match that commits the white and red, the Chilean national team and the significance of the upcoming and final date of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers.

WHY IS A DEFEAT FOR PERU A DOUBLE RISK?

Peru plays an important duel against Uruguay for each to decide the future of both teams on their way to the World Cup in Qatar 2022. However, the result of the match in Montevideo is related to what happens to Chile's match against Brazil in Rio de Janeiro and will even condition the options of the Colombian national team.

In addition, it should be borne in mind that Uruguay's national team will be key in the final stage of the qualifying round because it clashes with two rivals (Peru and Chile) out of the three, in addition to Colombia, who still have a chance to qualify.

Considering a victory for Uruguay against Peru, two possible scenarios are opened up with an impact on the claims of the Peruvian national team and even for Celeste.

If Chile loses to Brazil and Uruguay beat Peru, the charrua team would qualify for the Qatar 2022 World Cup with the last direct entry to the World Cup. Thus, Peru, Chile and Colombia are left without the option of reaching fourth place and could only tempt the repechage against Qatar 2022.

Then, Chile would be left with 19 points and Peru with 21. On the last date of the qualifiers, the whiquiroja will be obliged to win Paraguay in Lima to secure the quota for the repechage. And the 'Roja' would play against Uruguay qualified in Santiago.

In addition, if Colombia beats Bolivia in Barranquilla it would add 20 points, beat Chile with 19 and Peru would be left with 21 to reach the last date with a point difference between the three teams. The coffee growers visit Venezuela and with a victory they could also beat the white-red and the 'Roja' if they don't get a victory in their duels with Paraguay and Uruguay, respectively, and get into fifth place.
