Mexico and Peru will face each other in a friendly international this weekend. The match will be played at the Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena, USA and is scheduled to kick off at 2am UK time on Sunday.

Mexico

Mexico have become regulars at the FIFA World Cup finals. They have played in each edition since 1994, and unsurprisingly, they eased their way to Qatar this year as well. Gerardo Martino’s side ended up second in 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification – CONCACAF Third Round with 28 points from 14 matches, level on points with winners Canada and three points clear of third-placed the USA.

El Tri will head into the match against Peru on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Paraguay in Atlanta in a friendly international. It followed a 1-1 draw with Jamaica and a 3-0 victory over Suriname in the Nations League.

Team News:

Guillermo Ochoa, Hector Moreno, Nestor Araujo, Jorge Sanchez, Edson Alvarez, Henry Martin, Hirving Lozano and Alexis Vega all are part of the Mexico squad.

Peru

Peru will be disappointed that they will not feature at the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar this year. They went down to Australia in a penalty shootout in the playoff after ending up fifth in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONMEBOL) table.

Juan Reynoso’s side will be determined to bounce back from that defeat and return to winning ways this weekend. A win against Mexico will be massive, and they will also take on El Salvador in Washington DC three days later.

Team News:

Pedro Gallese, Jose Carvallo, Luis Abrahm, Miguel Araujo, Edison Flores, Yordy Reyna and Gianluca Lapadula all are part of the Peru squad.
