Argentina is close to securing a 2026 World Cup spot if it beats Peru in Buenos Aires, despite key injuries and a recent 2-1 loss to Paraguay. Coach Lionel Scaloni will make defensive changes, hoping to regain momentum. Argentina currently leads the South American qualifiers.

Brazil faces Uruguay in Salvador under coach Dorival Júnior, who is under scrutiny after lackluster results, including a 1-1 draw with Venezuela. Captain Marquinhos urged fans for support amidst poor form. Brazil sits fourth, while Uruguay, led by Marcelo Bielsa, is tied with Colombia three points behind Argentina. Uruguay looks to build on their recent 3-2 win over Colombia while managing player suspensions. Ecuador sits in fifth with a point behind.

Key matches will influence standings as South America has six World Cup spots.
