For Peru, the skills of Christian Cueva and Andre Carillo will be crucial for its World Cup hopes while the most dangerous tendency of Australia will be to pull off an upset, with late goals, something evident in its previous match at the same stadium.

HEAD-TO-HEAD: The only time Australia and Peru faced off in international football was in a group stage match of the 2018 World Cup in Russia. On that day, the South American side secured a comfortable 2-0 win with goals from Paolo Guerrero and André Carrillo.
