Preview
El Salvador vs Peru will take place as an International Friendly at the Subaru Park in Pennsylvania as the away team will look to get some game-time ahead of Copa America 2024.
The hosts will enter this contest on the back of a poor run of form, where they have secured just one win in their last eight games. The other results have been five draws and two defeats in seven games as El Salvador continue to find their feet at the international level. In that time, they have scored just five goals and conceded eight. They won their last outing 3-1 against St. Vincent & The Grenadines and will look to repeat the same.
Peru, on the other hand, will enter this contest in a much better shape. However, their recent form record reads poorly as they suffered four consecutive defeats, before reviving their form with two draws and two wins. The alarming factor was they failed to score in any of the defeats, netting just seven goals in their last eight games overall and conceding nine. Having held Paraguay to a goalless draw last time out, they will look to do one better next time.
That said, let’s take a look at the team news.
El Salvador vs Peru Team News
El Salvador
They played their last game just four days ago, securing a handsome 3-1 win. Manager David Doniga will look to keep the momentum going and stick with the same lineup.
El Salvador will mainly rely on their front five, with captain Bryan Tamacas and Nelson Blanco on the flanks. Jairo Mauricio Rodriguez will anchor the midfield, with Rafael Tejada and Francis Castillo-Orellana up front.
Peru
The Peruvians had a disappointing outing in terms of attack in their draw with Paraguay as none of their seven attempts were on target. Defensively, on the other hand, they did reasonably well to keep their opponents at bay.
Manager Jorge Fossati will look to keep the same combination of players, with ‘keeper Pedro Gallese, Alexander Callens and Carlos Zambrano forming the defensive core. Skipper Renato Tapia and Marcos Lopez will man the midfield, with Piero Quispe in the attacking role. Jose Rivera and Gianluca Lapadula will lead the line.

Key Players to Watch
- Rafael Tejada (El Salvador) – The forward had a great outing last time around as his nation won 3-1. He provided an assist for Henriquez’s opener after just 10 minutes and also got on the scoresheet himself in the 60th minute. His sharpness in and around the box could cause Peru problems.
- Piero Quispe (Peru) – Twenty-two-year-old Quispe has been in great form for his club Pumas, putting in great performances since April. He had another decent game for Peru last time out despite it ending in a goalless draw as he played one key pass and won six duels.
El Salvador vs Peru Prediction
Both teams will look to have a proper go at this game considering it’s a friendly like their last four meetings. Peru will look to start off sharp and secure the win as they prepare for Copa America 2024, and will have slightly more incentive to grab a win.
Prediction: El Salvador 1-3 Peru.
