Ricardo Gareca’s side has been handed a major boost heading into the tournament with striker Paolo Guerrero having his drug suspension lifted, allowing the 34-year old Flamengo player to take part in the tournament. Peru is coming into their match on good form, following friendly victories over Iceland, Scotland and Saudi Arabia.  

Jefferson Farfan is likely to start on the left wing, and the veteran attacker played a significant role in getting Peru to the World Cup, scoring a goal in the continental play-off against New Zealand. Farfan, 33 is no stranger in playing in Russia and is currently playing for Lokomotiv Moscow. 

Peru Predicted Team

Gallese; Advincula, Ramos, Rodriguez, Trauco; Tapia, Yotun; Carrillo, Farfan, Cueva; Guerrero

As for Denmark, they qualified for Russia after defeating Ireland 5-1 over two legs. Tottenham playmaker Christian Eriksen inspired his nation grabbing a hat-trick in the game. Much of the expectation will now fall on the 26-year-old who is set for a deep-lying playmaker role for his country.  

It’s safe to say that the Danes have had uninspiring preparation period ahead of the World Cup with two 0-0 draws against Chile and neighbours Sweden. One player who just missed out on the squad is former Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner who was dropped from the squad after failing to recover from a groin injury. His presence in attack is a big loss for the team.  

Denmark Predicted Team

Schmeichel; Dalsgaard, Christensen, Kjaer, Larsen; Kvist, Delaney; Poulsen, Eriksen, Sisto; Jorgensen

Keeper Kasper Schmeichel has been ever-present in goal for his country throughout qualification and is likely to make his World Cup debut against Peru. The Leicester City keeper enjoyed yet another solid season and could be called upon to make some crucial saves especially against a rejuvenated Peru side who will be welcoming back Paolo Guerrero into their squad. 

It promises to be an interesting match as  Peru who returns to the World Cup after a 36-year wait take on Denmark in their opening game of B. You can watch all the action Live & Exclusive on MAX HD3 & beIN SPORTS CONNECT.
