TPO - Colombia vs Peru, 2026 World Cup Qualifiers South America - Team information, expected lineup, form, head-to-head history. Colombia is in the race for a direct ticket to the 2026 World Cup, but a recent slump has forced them to beat Peru to maintain their advantage. The match in Barranquilla is an opportunity for coach Nestor Lorenzo and his team to end a 4-match winless streak and consolidate their position in the Top 6.

Colombo has been in decline lately.

Pre-match comments Colombia vs Peru

Colombia once had an impressive 28-match unbeaten streak, Nestor Lorenzo's team even made it into the Top 3 of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in South America. However, a serious decline in form recently has fans worried. Colombia has only won 1 point after the last 4 matches and has dropped to 6th place.

However, Colombia is still very safe from the 7th ranked team Venezuela (5 points). The match schedule is also in favor of coach Nestor Lorenzo and his team. The runner-up of Copa America 2024 only has to face three opponents that are rated much lower: Peru, Bolivia and Venezuela. If they play at their best, Colombia can completely achieve favorable results to win a ticket straight to the biggest football festival in the world .

Fortunately for Colombia, they will have a golden opportunity to end the unforgettable streak in the upcoming match because the opponent is only Peru. Coach Oscar Ibanez's team is ranked second to last and is an easy opponent for the Copa America 2024 runner-up. With home advantage, Colombia will likely easily win 3 points. Peru plays extremely badly every time they play away. This team has a streak of 7 away matches without a win in the qualifying round, including 6 defeats and only scoring 2 goals.
