Peru vs Spain Betting Tips & Predictions – La Roja to Boost Their Spirits Ahead of the World Cup 2026
Spain is determined to rebound after recent missed opportunities against Egypt and Iraq, despite dominating both matches. The Red Fury’s impressive World Cup qualifying run and strong defensive record set them up as favorites against Peru, who continue to find their footing under new coach Mano Menezes following a disappointing qualifying campaign. Spain's history includes three straight wins over Peru, and with their attacking prowess, they are tipped to win to nil. Backing Spain for a 2-0 victory is recommended.
- This will be La Roja's last test game before World Cup 2026
- We are backing them to beat inconsistent Peru to nil

Spain deserved more from recent clashes against Egypt and Iraq (both ended without a winner), missing a lot of great chances. I expect them to bounce back against Peru who are looking for consistency under new coach Menezes.

Three Previous Meetings
These two sides locked horns three times so far and Spain won all three encounters (all of them were friendly matches).
Peru Under New Leadership
Peru had a disappointing run in the World Cup 2026 qualifiers, grabbing just 12 points in 18 matches to finish just above the last place, nowhere close to the playoff spot.
They appointed Mano Menezes as the new national coach in late January, and things didn’t improve much under new leadership, recording a 2-0 loss to Senegal and a 2-2 draw against Honduras in late March.
Last week, Peru locked horns against WC 2026 participants Haiti and won 2-1, scoring two late goals through Renzo Garces and Jairo Velez. It was a well-deserved victory, having higher xG, possession and more shots than opposition.
Spain Missing a lot of Goal Chances Lately
Spain had a great run in the World Cup 2026 qualifiers, topping Group E with five victories and one draw to finish ahead of Turkey, Georgia and Bulgaria with a 21-2 difference.
The Red Fury started 2026 with a commanding 3-0 victory against Serbia where Mikel Oyarzabal netted a brace in the first half, followed by a goalless draw against Egypt where they had 2.50-0.15 xG, 61% possession and 25-4 shots.
Spain were tagged massive favorites in last week’s friendly against Iraq, gained an early lead through Ferran Torres but ultimately had to settle for a 1-1 draw, once again failing to convert high number of goal opportunities.

Verdict
Spain conceded just one goal in their last three international friendlies, while Peru had the worst attack in the South American WC qualifiers, netting just six goals in 18 games. Backing the Red Fury to win to nil is the best bet.
