Very interesting game is what awaits us this Saturday at the Mordovia Arena in Saransk, when for Group C of the 2018 World Cup Russia, the two candidates face to take the second place of the Group as are Peru and Denmark.
Peru:
Those led by the Argentine coach Ricardo Gareca gave the surprise in the South American Qualifiers after remaining with the fifth place that led to participate in the playoff against New Zealand, leaving aside the favorite Chile, as well as Paraguay and Ecuador, and with it They left behind a long 36-year streak without attending a World Cup.
But this goal was achieved to the great rebound that the Inca team had in 2017 when they drew two goals in their visit to Venezuela and since that draw adds a streak of fifteen games without losing, which highlights the goalless draw against Argentina by Eliminatory in addition to the victory against Uruguay for the same event; as well as the triumphs over world-wide selections as they are Iceland and Croatia in friendly games.
Peru is coming to close its preparation stage with a goalless draw against Sweden, in a game where Gareca apparently worked the defensive block to use against Denmark on Saturday, which also highlights the presence of Farfán and Guerrero up front, with those who intend to repeat what was done in the last America Cup where they finished in third place in Chile 2015, and then up to quarters in the America Centennial Cup in the United States.
Denmark:
Meanwhile, the situation of those led by Age Hareide is very similar, so Denmark also got their qualification to the Russia 2018 World Cup in the playoff where he faced Ireland, against whom he tied at home to zero goals in the first leg, and then win of visitor by a categorical 1-5, thanks to a triplet of his maximum referent in attack as is Christian Ericksen and thus returns to a World Cup after eight years.
The objective of Denmark is to repeat or improve what was done at the 1998 France World Cup when they reached the quarterfinals and in passing erase the poor presentation in its last presentation in a World Cup as was South Africa 2010 when they could not even advance from the phase of groups
Denmark closed its preparation with a 2-0 win against Mexico that broke a streak of two consecutive draws, but the important thing is that they arrive with morale very high due to a run of fifteen games without losing, although we must be clear that we are not considering defeats against Sweden and Jordan in friendly games considered unofficial.
For this World Cup, the technical team emphasizes what Christian Eriksen can do in midfield along with the experienced William Kvist and Thomas Delaney; in addition to a defensive block formed by Andreas Christensen and Simon Kjaer who are in an excellent moment.
Possible alignments:
Peru: Gallese; Trauco, Ramos, Rodríguez, Advincula; Tapia, Yotun, Carillo, Cueva, Farfán; Warrior.
Denmark: Schmeichel; Dalsgaard, Kjaer, Christensen, Larsen; Kvist, Delaney, Eriksen; Sisto, Poulsen, Jorgensen.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1.78
