Peru vs Argentina: Where and how to watch?

Argentina have a 100% record in the qualification group

The upcoming match in the 2026 World Cup qualification section promises to be a thrilling showdown between two formidable teams. Argentina, under the guidance of Lionel Scaloni, are reigning world champion and sits at the top of the qualification table with nine points. In contrast, Peru, led by Juan Reynoso, has had a rocky start. They have only one point from their first three games, placing them ninth in the standings.

Argentina, with its rich footballing history and a star-studded squad, have their sights firmly set on clinching the World Cup trophy once again. They've been a dominant force in the footballing world. Their last World Cup triumph came in 2023 when they defeated France in a thrilling final.

The 2026 World Cup qualification campaign has been a stellar one for Argentina. They opened with a 1-0 victory over Ecuador, continued their winning streak with a 3-0 triumph against Bolivia, and most recently secured a 1-0 win over Paraguay. Nicolas Otamendi's early strike in the last game was the decider, reaffirming Argentina's strength and determination. The team's consistency and talent make them strong contenders for the 2026 World Cup.

On the other side of the pitch, Peru is determined to overcome their struggles and secure their place in the World Cup. The Peruvian national team has a history in the World Cup, having participated in five editions. Their best performances were in 1970 and 1978 when they reached the quarter-finals. However, they faced disappointment in the 2018 World Cup when they were eliminated in the group stage. Unfortunately, they failed to qualify for the 2022 competition in Qatar.

Their journey in the 2026 World Cup qualification section began with a goalless draw against Paraguay. However, their subsequent matches against Brazil and Chile ended in losses, leaving them in the ninth position. These challenges make the upcoming match against Argentina crucial in their quest to climb the table.

The history between Peru and Argentina on the football pitch tells a story of challenges and rare triumphs. Peru's last victory against Argentina dates back to June 1997, underscoring the formidable task they face. While they haven't managed to secure a win, two of their last four meetings ended in a draw.

Argentina's remarkable form since their World Cup victory against France in December 2023 is evident in their seven straight victories, four of which were in friendly fixtures. The team, under Scaloni's guidance, seems unfazed by the competition. They are determined to maintain their winning streak in the qualification section.

It's important to note that Argentina hasn't missed a World Cup final since 1970. Their last absence was nearly half a century ago, making it highly unlikely for them to miss the 2026 competition. The upcoming match against Peru is crucial for them as they prepare for two standout matches against Uruguay and Brazil next month.

As we anticipate this exciting clash between Peru and Argentina, it's clear that both teams have their unique challenges and aspirations. Argentina seeks to solidify their position as world champions and secure a spot in the 2026 World Cup. Peru is determined to bounce back from a rocky start and make their mark in international football.
