Japan vs Peru Prediction
The most recent result for Japan ended a winless streak of three games, allowing them to get back to winning ways at home.
In the meantime, Peru’s streak of consecutive games without a victory came to an end for the first time in their most recent match. They have won one of the last six games they’ve played away from home, but they might not win this one.
Japan has the potential to win 1-0 against Peru.
