Peru vs Uruguay: the white-red team faces the charrua team for the last FIFA double date of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers at the Centenario Stadium in Montevideo.

The Uruguay national team plays at home with the support of their fans to the fullest and have the option of qualifying for the Qatar 2022 World Cup directly when they face the Peruvian national team in Montevideo.

South America (Conmebol) has 4 direct places to the Qatar 2022 World Cup and a playoff chance with the Asian Confederation (AFC) for a place in the World Cup.

Brazil and Argentina are already qualified for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Ecuador from third place with 25 points needs only one point to secure third place in the World Cup.

Thus, there would be one and a half places left to be filled for the World Cup event with two games left to play in the South American Qualifiers heading to Qatar 2022.

Uruguay from fourth place with 22 points ranks last in the World Cup and the Peruvian national team with 21 is placed in the repechage zone in fifth place.

Precisely, the Uruguay vs Peru match could decide the last direct place in favor of Celeste and leave the other teams struggling to reach the 2022 World Cup without direct qualification. Such is the case of bicolor, Chile (6th with 19 points) and Colombia (7th with 17 points).

WHAT RESULTS QUALIFY URUGUAY IN THE WORLD CUP?

If Uruguay beats Peru by any score, it would reach 25 points and it would be unreachable in the first instance by Peru. that was wanted with 21 in the absence of a date for the end of the qualifiers.

Then, if on this 17th date of qualifiers Brazil does not lose to Chile in Rio de Janeiro, the Uruguayan team would also be unreachable by the 'Roja' who could stay 19 points if they lose and with 20 points if they draw against 'Canarinha'.

In this way, Uruguay would directly qualify for the World Cup with the fourth and final direct place available for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. In addition, regardless of the results, Ecuador would confirm its presence at the next World Cup.

Therefore, in any case, Peru, Chile and Colombia would only have the option of fighting for the fifth place awarded by the repechage with the Asian Confederation (AFC)
