Uruguay have all but confirmed their spot at the 2026 World Cup after their victory over Venezuela on Matchday 16.
Marco Bielsa’s side are assured of at least inter-confederation play-offs, but a much more favourable goal difference over Venezuela means it is unthinkable to see a scenario where they will not book their spot at next summer’s competition.
Uruguay have only scored in three of their 10 qualifiers since the Copa America and that may prove something of a positive for Peru, who appear to be staring down the barrel in terms of elimination.

Uruguay vs Peru: Match Preview
Uruguay will be happy to see both Federico Valverde and Darwin Nunez back in their ranks for two games this month, after the pair missed out in the June qualifiers.
Just one win is needed for Bielsa’s side, but their form has been worrying as of late, winning just one qualifying game in 2025.
But that can all be forgotten should they emerge victorious in Montevideo, with the full focus on earning a vital win.
FEATURE: Who are the biggest clubs in South America
Peru are almost down and out, having amassed a lowly 12 points so far, winning just two games during a dismal qualifying campaign.
They cannot qualify directly for the 2026 World Cup and now may only advance to the inter-confederation play-offs, in which they need to win both of their games this month, and hope a goalswing of 7 goes in their favour.
Oscar Ibanez is without a whole host of players, with Paolo Guerrero and Gianluca Lapadula both missing. Andre Carrillo is also currently out on the sidelines, and Ibanez has seen Edison Flores and Alex Valera both withdraw with injury over the last week.
FourFourTwo’s Prediction
Uruguay 2-1 Peru
Uruguay’s recent form is worrying, but FourFourTwo believes Valverde and Nunez returning to the fold will help them get over the line on Thursday. Peru have huge travel commitments too, and we can’t see anything other than a home win for Bielsa and his men.
