Peru

“At the 2026 World Cup, Peru is likely to employ a 4-2-3-1 tactical setup, utilizing their technical midfield quartet to control the tempo of the game and provide creative support to the lone striker. A key strength of the Peruvian team is the ability of star midfielder Christian Cueva to create scoring opportunities from deep, leveraging his exceptional vision and passing range to pick out his teammates in attacking positions. However, one concern for the Peruvians may be their vulnerability on the counter-attack, as their high-pressing approach can sometimes leave them exposed when transitioning from defense to offense.”
