The Argentina national team stumbled again on the road, suffering a narrow 1-2 loss to Paraguay. This defeat added to their streak of disappointing away performances, raising doubts about the “Albiceleste’s” resilience outside their home stadium. Nevertheless, the team still holds the top spot in the qualifying group with 22 points.
However, their lead is now fragile. Uruguay and Colombia are close behind and ready to capitalize on any slip-ups by Argentina to take the top position. Since the September international break, Lionel Scaloni’s side has played five matches, further highlighting the stark difference between their home and away form. On home soil, they showcased their dominance, cruising past Chile with a 3-0 victory and comfortably defeating Bolivia.
Meanwhile, Peru continues to disappoint in their 2026 World Cup qualification campaign. In their most recent match, the “Incas” played out a goalless draw against Chile at home in Lima. Another missed opportunity leaves them in 9th place in the group standings with 7 points. Even a victory in their next match won’t be enough to improve their position, given the significant gap to their rivals.
Away games have been a nightmare for Peru, as reflected in their results since September. Across five rounds, they have failed to secure any points: a narrow 0-1 loss to Ecuador and a humiliating 0-4 defeat to Brazil expose their defensive frailties and lack of attacking efficiency. On foreign soil, Peru clearly struggles with discipline and confidence.
