Expert opinions on the Peru vs Chile match
As a big name in South American football, in recent years, the Chile national team has been experiencing a certain decline. Looking at their squad in preparation for this year’s Copa America, it still revolves around familiar names, especially in the attacking front. Both of Chile’s top attackers, Vargas and Sanchez, have passed their prime. Moreover, Chile’s recent official match results have caused concerns among their fans. Chile is currently in 8th place in the World Cup qualifiers after suffering unexpected defeats against much lower-rated teams.
As for Peru, they are not highly rated in this year’s Copa. In fact, in the World Cup qualifiers, Peru is at the bottom. They have only earned 2 points after drawing with Venezuela and Paraguay. Looking at the quality of Peru’s personnel, it’s clear why coach Jorge Fossati’s team has performed poorly. None of Peru’s players are currently playing in Europe. Most of them come from the domestic league or MLS, a league not highly regarded in terms of professionalism.
