Match Preview:
On Friday, September 5, 2025, Uruguay will host Peru in a crucial World Cup qualifying fixture. This match at Estadio Centenario is an opportunity for Uruguay to secure their place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, while Peru desperately needs a victory to keep their slim qualification hopes alive.

Uruguay, under the guidance of Marcelo Bielsa, has a strong home record in this qualifying campaign, with five wins, two draws, and just one defeat. Their recent form has been inconsistent, but they are coming off a crucial 2-0 home victory against Venezuela.

Peru, on the other hand, has struggled, particularly on the road, with no away victories and a low goal-scoring output in this qualifying campaign. They are currently in ninth place and their race for a World Cup spot is on the verge of ending.

Looking at their head-to-head history, the last four encounters have been very tight, with one win for each team and two draws, including a 1-0 victory for Peru in their last meeting. However, a significant trend in their recent matches has been the low number of goals. Under 2.5 goals have been scored in five of Uruguay's last five matches and in a majority of their head-to-head encounters.

Match Prediction: 
Based on the low-scoring nature of their past meetings and both teams' recent form, the prediction is for a match with Under 2.5 goals.
