Panama dreams of a repeat World Cup experience
The Panamanian national team is not a team that is constantly in the World Cup, remember that in the qualifiers for Brazil 2014, the Panamanians were left out by a goal from the United States which allowed Mexico to get the playoff, for Russia 2018, Panama was one of the 4 representatives of CONCACAF, fortune was not with them as they were in the same group as England and Belgium, so they were dismissed in the group stage without scoring points, now in the qualifiers for Qatar 2022, Panama is equal in points with Mexico, so the Panamanian national team would be playing for the playoff to be able to have a ticket to the World Cup, with five points ahead of Costa Rica, the Panamanians have everything to be able to access their second consecutive World Cup, with six games left, Panama will face Costa Rica on January 27, the game could put the selection on track for their pass, however they still have very complicated matches against Canada, United States and Mexico, so harvesting as many points as possible is their obligation.
Peru seeks to get into the top four or tie for the playoffs
The Peruvian national team is looking to get ready for the resumption of the qualifiers for Qatar 2022, the team led by Gareca is in fifth place in the qualifiers, so they would be playing for the playoffs, with 17 points their place is not yet assured since Bolivia, Uruguay and Chile are only down by one and two points, with the end of the qualifiers just around the corner the Peruvian national team knows it must not lose points in the remaining matches to be played, The friendly vs. Panama will serve to identify the moment that the selected players are going through, players known in Liga MX as Gallese and Yotun, are part of the called-up players, the match against Panama will be a good practice to measure the physical game of the players, Peru won its last two qualifying games against Bolivia and Venezuela, its next qualifying match will be against Colombia, a direct rival in the aspirations of the World Cup.
International friendly match between CONCACAF Y CONMEBOL
The Qatar 2022 World Cup is just around the corner and although there are already qualified teams, the qualifiers still continue and are being fought in a great way, in CONCACAF in the last FIFA date Mexico started in first place but after two defeats dropped to third place with the same points as Panama so the closing will be more than good, on the side of CONMEBOL Brazil and Argentina practically already have their ticket to the World Cup, so there are still two and a half tickets to play so the teams should prepare the best they can.
