Peru, meanwhile, have produced some encouraging results in recent outings. They played out a 2-2 draw against Honduras in March before registering a 2-1 win over Haiti in their most recent fixture, providing a welcome boost in confidence.
Currently ranked 53rd in the FIFA standings, Peru will be aiming to pull off a major upset against one of the tournament favourites. However, overcoming Spain will be a difficult task given the Europeans’ quality and depth.
The South Americans are also seeking to rebuild after a disappointing World Cup qualifying campaign, which saw them miss out on a place at the FIFA World Cup finals for a second consecutive edition.
Spain will be playing Peru without the services of Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams and Víctor Muñoz as the three players are recovering from their injuries. They are part of the Spain’s World Cup squad though.
