France Peru match preview

The second match of the second round in group C of the World Cup in Russia also brings us two teams that are in completely different moods, because France has celebrated over Australia with 2-1 in the first round, while the Peruvians despite very good game were eventually defeated with 1-0 by Denmark. But we are sure that the South Americans will not be discouraged after this defeat, and that they will even give their best now against the favoured France, especially because they have fantastic support from the stands. We should also add that this is their first mutual duel in history

France

We have already said in the introduction that the French could be much more relaxed in their next duel, since they in the first round, despite of an unconvincing performance, eventually managed to make a very important victory of 2-1 over Australia. Namely, coach Deschamps’ players have scored the first goal in that match from a penalty, while they in the finish of the match, in the 81st to be exact minutes, scored a winning goal, after the ball was deflected by the Australian defender Behich in the opposing network. Otherwise, it is a particularly devastating fact that France had almost identical ball possession as their opponents, although they have the best world midfielders in their ranks, such as Pogba, Kante, Toliss and Matuidi, who only played in the second half.

But now we expect him for the first minute, instead of the unmistakable Toliss, while instead of Dembele, a brilliant Fekir or corpulent Giroud should get a chance at the top of the attack. However, we all know that most of the coaches like Giroud like to have a jockey on the bench, so it is a much more realistic option for Peru to play with Fekir from the first minute, who is much more mobile, which the French certainly need in their fight with a ferocious and aggressive South Americans. We should also add that the right back Sidibe is still questionable due to injury, so that position should be covered again by young Pavard.

Probable lineups France: Lloris – Pavard, Varane, Umtiti, Fernandez – Matuidi, Kante, Pogba – Mbappe, Griezmann, Fekir

Peru

We have already said for Peru that they have played a good game against Denmark in the first round, but because of the lack of luck and insufficient concentration in the finish of the match, they eventually remained without points. Namely, in all statistical parameters, they were better than their rivals, but the fact that they had as many as 18 shots towards the goal of Schmeichel, while they even before the end of the first half missed the penalty. They were later punished for that blunder in the 59th minute, when after a quick counterattack Poulsen shaken the net of Gallese, which brought his team the first victory at the World Cup.

On the other hand, the Peruvians are now in a rather unpleasant situation because they no longer have the right to blunder, and will now have a clash with the first favourite of this group, but also one of the candidates for the title of the world champion, the team of France. That is why coach Garec is now in a great mood when it comes to preparing his team for this big duel, as he does not have a too big fund of high quality players and cannot make any radical changes in the match with Denmark. However, there is not much need to do this, as we have already said that most of the team has done a good job in the first round, so only the experienced Guerrero could take advantage over the striker Flores at the top of the attack.

Probable lineups Peru: Gallese – Advincula, Ramos, Rodriguez, Trauco – Tapia, Yotun – Carrillo, Cueva, Farfan – Guerrero

Verdict:

Even though they did not leave a particularly good impression in the first round, the French continue to be a big favourite in this duel with the fierce Peruans, who, on the other hand, after an unlucky defeat by Denmark no longer have the right to blunder, so we expect them to be quite offensive in this duel with France, which then only suggests that there might be goals on both sides of the field.
