Uruguay Looks Forward to a Comeback Against Peru in FIFA World Cup Qualifiers
Look at the football news of the month Uruguay continues the 2026 World Cup qualifier match number four in Peru on Saturday. In the current edition of the South American Qualifiers, Uruguay occupies the third position in the table, with 15 points totalized within eight rounds, won four games, drew on three occasions, and lost only once, under the leadership of the famous Argentine-Swedish strategist Marcelo Bielsa. Nevertheless, they will seek to get back to winning ways after being held to scoreless draws twice, to Paraguay and Venezuela in October.
Peru on the same note is still firmly rooted at the basement. La Bicolor have been poor, managing only three point in total from eight games and without a victory to their name. However, they only produced a lucky 0-0_WORLD qualified draw against Colombia in their last international break matches and succumbed to a 1-0 beatings from Ecuador to remain pointless.
