Overview
- Peru completed consecutive practice days at the Videna that produced a provisional 'team A' on Thursday and placed Francesco Andrealli and Fabio Gruber in the likely starting mix.
- Gianluca Lapadula stood out in training by scoring three times, making him the primary attacking option for the match scheduled for Friday, November 13 at Matute.
- Jairo Vélez and Marco Huamán remained doubt marks on Thursday after doing gym work for muscle and ankle issues, and their availability could force late changes to Menezes's eleven.
- Bolivia arrived in Lima and coach Óscar Villegas and goalkeeper Carlos Lampe described the friendly as a practical evaluation for both teams rather than a result-driven test.
- Domestic viewers will see the match live on América TV and streaming platforms América tvGO and Bicolor+/TV360, and the game will let Menezes measure foreign-based veterans and young call-ups for future qualifying plans.
