The long drought for Peru is over, as the team will be making their first World Cup appearance in 36 years at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Peru finished fifth in South American qualifying and won an intercontinental playoff against New Zealand to clinch a spot. Peru will be playing in their fifth World Cup, but their first since Spain in 1982. Peru is a big longshot to win the 2018 World Cup at odds of +15000 and they are unlikely to advance out of the group stage.
Peru 2018 World Cup Odds: +15000
Peru has no real chance of winning the 2018 World Cup, but just qualifying was a success for this club after missing out for more than three decades. Peru will be a big underdog in all of their games and will do well just to get a point or two in group action.
2018 World Cup Qualifying Results
Peru got goals from Jefferson Farfan and Christian Ramos to defeat New Zealand 2-0 in aggregate in a playoff. Peru has an excellent playmaker in Christian Cueva and he set up Farfan on his goal. Peru made a remarkable turnaround under head coach Ricardo Gareca. “He’s not so much a coach as a friend,” Yosimar Yotun said to FIFA.com. “He’s coached in Peru before and he knows how good our players are. It didn’t take him long to get us believing again, both on an individual and a team level. He restored our confidence.” When Gareca took over, Peru was 64th in the FIFA rankings. Gareca had to implement a 4-2-3-1 system because of injuries and it worked well in qualifying.

The Coach
Gareca took over in 2015 and is the second Argentinian in history to coach Peru. Gareca had success coaching with Universitario de Lima and Velez Sarsfield. Peru has had 24 different coaches since 1982, although four have held the job more than once.
Peru World Cup History
Peru was a regular at the World Cup from 1970 to 1982, as they appeared three times but this will be their first appearance at a World Cup since Spain in 1982. Peru had the most success in 1970, as they made it to the quarterfinals. Peru has played a total of 15 World Cup matches and scored 19 goals for an average of 1.3 goals per game.
Peru 2018 World Cup Predictions
It is hard to envision anything other than an early exit for Peru at the 2018 World Cup. They simply don’t have enough scoring to contend with most of the top teams in the world and their defense isn’t anything special. Peru is likely going to be satisfied with just making it to the World Cup after such a long absence. Picking up a point or two in the group stage is probably the best that Peru can hope for at the 2018 World Cup.
