Marcelo Bielsa will look to get his team back to winning ways.
Uruguay will resume their World Cup qualifying campaign against Peru on Saturday. La Celeste are currently third on the qualifying table after accumulating 15 points in their opening eight matches. They have registered four wins, three draws, and one loss so far.
Managed by Marcelo Bielsa, they are one of the best national teams in the world right now. Their direct-attacking play style of football during the 2024 Copa America impressed everybody. However, La Celeste played two back-to-back 0-0 draws against Paraguay and Venezuela last month.
Peru, on the other hand, are at the bottom of the qualifying table. Even after playing eight games, they are yet to get a single win. With three draws and five losses, La Bicolor have only gained three points so far.
During last month’s international break, Peru did manage to hold off Colombia to a 0-0 draw but lost 1-0 away to Ecuador. South American World Cup qualifiers are known for their competitiveness and this match will be no different.

Players to watch out for:
Pedro Gallese (Peru)
The 34-year-old has recently been one of the best performers on the national team of Peru. He has averaged three saves per game this season for his club Orlando City SC. Considering the attacking threat of Uruguay, manager Jorge Fossati will rely heavily on him to keep his team in the game.
Darwin Núñez (Uruguay)
Darwin Núñez is making his comeback to the national team after his incident with the fans during the 2024 Copa America. He will most likely start against Peru and is expected to deliver a good performance. The Liverpool striker has already scored 13 goals in 29 appearances for his national team. Along with his comeback to the pitch, he is expected to be back on the scoresheet as well.
