The urge to win greatly invades Peru and Bolivia in the duel they will hold, in La Paz, for the fifth day of the South American Qualifiers. And neither the Inca nor the Altiplano have managed to add any victory so far in the competition, occupying the penultimate and last place in the standings, respectively. Therefore, this Thursday’s clash will be key for both teams, the same ones who will seek not to say goodbye to the hope of entering the next World Cup event.

Of course, statistics could play a separate role, since the bicolor team was never able to win in highland lands.
Of the last ten occasions in which the Peruvian National Team he saw his face with Boliviaby Qualifiersthe Inca team managed to win four times (not counting the victory in desks that allowed them to score important points for Russia 2018), tying twice and losing on the remaining three.

And the fact is that both the white-and-red team and the highland team also faced each other in the Copa América and in more than one friendly match, leaving the balance of four wins for those of ‘La Bicolor’, three draws and one victory for ‘La Green’.
