Watch Uruguay vs. Peru live stream in a CONMEBOL 2018 World Cup qualifying match on Tuesday, March 29, from Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, Uruguay.

La Albiceleste will look to tie first place surprise team, Ecuador, which currently leads the standings with 13 points in an unexpected turn of events. Uruguay stands at 10 points, right on La Tri’s heels, and hopes to earn a win against Peru, which sits towards the bottom of the standings in the South American group.

This matchup is huge for both teams, as Uruguay will attempt to establish itself as the new co-leader, especially if the lead Colombia holds over Ecuador at the time this article was written is maintained. For Peru, it’s a do-or-die situation and the Pacific Coast team needs at least a tie to remain viable for the finals in 2018.

On paper, when you watch Uruguay vs. Peru live stream, you should see Luis Suarez and company walk away with an easy trip to first place. Despite the problems Suarez faced, after being handed a suspension by FIFA for biting an Italian opponent at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the Barcelona striker has been on a tear of late.

Suarez has become one of the top footballers in the world and has reached an impressive 43 goals in all competitions for Barcelona during the 2015-16 season, according to Latin Post. This amazing feat has made the once maligned star Uruguay’s top scorer of all time.

Uruguay’s goal is to win big so they can take possession of first place in the CONMEBOL 2018 World Cup qualifiers. Currently they are tied with Ecuador in every stat, but Uruguay has a loss, while Ecuador has not lost a match yet.

When you watch Uruguay vs. Peru live stream free, you can see if Suarez can continue with his magnificent season and increase his country’s chances of moving on to the finals in first place. After a dramatic victory against Barca teammate Neymar and his Brazil squad, Suarez stated he wants a “spectacular” victory against Peru on Tuesday, at home, BeIn Sports says.

“A win against Peru and playing at home would be a spectacular close to a very good qualifying stage.

“This group will always leave life for the shirt.”

As for Peru, they will not only have to contend with Suarez’s tricks, but will do so without some key players. Jefferson Farfan, Carlos Zambrano, Juan Manuel Vargas, and Josepmar Ballon have been ruled out from the Tuesday qualifier.

There is no question the heavy favorite to take this matchup is Uruguay, one of the toughest teams in all of football and a fixture of recent World Cup tournaments. If Peru prevails, they can keep their hopes alive and would find themselves only three points behind the leader if both Uruguay and Ecuador lose.

Despite the marked differences between both teams, those who watch Uruguay vs. Peru live stream will see La Albiroja keep fighting to stay alive, according to manager Ricardo Gareca, who said Peru can defeat any team they face.

Speaking to Peru’s reporters, Gareca defended his team and stated his men are capable of defeating any squad in the world because “we have the players to do it.” Due to the key absences Peru will have when they face Uruguay, the young, multifaceted player Ádan Balbín could be one of the surprise additions to the pitch after practicing with the squad over the weekend.
