Squads & Team News

Socceroos coach Bert van Marwijk has showed faith in his starting 11 for some time now so it's hard to see him making many, if any, changes for this clash.

Young gun Daniel arzani might be used more to counteract the pace of the Peruvians, while Tim Cahill will be hoping to get some minutes in what could be his final World Cup match.

Potential Australia starting XI: Ryan; Risdon, Sainsbury, Milligan, Behich; Jedinak, Mooy, Leckie, Kruse, Rogic; Nabbout.

Potential Peru starting XI: Gallese; Trauco, Rodriguez, Ramos, Advincula; Carrillo, Yotun, Tapia, Flores, Cueva; Farfan.

Match Preview

Peru's attacking flare up against Australia's midfield steel makes for a fascinating final group game for these two nations.

The Socceroos will have to be at their defensive best to keep out an electric Peruvian attack, while also looking to dominate the game in midfield.

Australia's holding midfield pairing of Aaron Mooy and Mile Jedinak drew special mention from Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho after their performance against France and will need to dictate play against Peru.

Likely wingers Mathew Leckie and Robbie Kruse should also expect a busy night with the Peruvian's speed both with and without the ball set to test the Socceroos stamina.

Christian Cueva missed a costly penalty for Peru in their opener against Denmark and could find the ultimate redemption with a goal against Australia.

If the world rankings are anything to go by, Peru should have a clear edge in this one but the Socceroos have already shown they know how to punch above their weight at this World Cup.
