It is the last chance for Peru to fight for a place in the next World Cup in Qatar. With the four Conmebol qualifiers already defined, there are three teams that still have a chance of reaching the playoffs to play their last chance to go to Qatar. Peru are the best positioned, and depending on other results, even a tie would reach them, however, they should not be overconfident.

On the Paraguayan side, they come from winning comfortably against an unknown Ecuador that could do little against an inspired Paraguayan team. Although they already know they have no chance of going to the next World Cup, they have the opportunity to test the team and prepare for future commitments, and above all to try to qualify for the next World Cup.

André Carrillo, injured, will not be part of the team, and the Colo Colo player, Gabriel Costa, will surely take his place. Another change that Ricardo Gareca would be considering to face Paraguay will be Christofer Gonzales, who was recently highlighted as one of the best in the Peruvian First Division.

Peru probable starting XI: Pedro Gallese; Luis Advincula, Alexander Callens, Carlos Zambrano, Miguel Trauco; Renato Tapia, Yoshimar Yotun, Christian Cueva; Sergio Peña, Edison Flores, Gianluca Lapadula.

Among the 28-man roster selected by Eduardo Berizzo, one of the players to watch is former Atlanta United midfielder Miguel Almirón, who is due a breakout tournament. The talented midfielder has shown glimpses of what he can be in England and in MLS, but now needs to become a leader on his national team.

Rounding out the squad are the Romero brothers, Oscar and Angel, who despite their talents are controversial figures at their Argentine club, San Lorenzo. Here is the complete list of players for Paraguay in the Copa America.
