Peru couldn't have gotten off to a much worse start in World Cup qualifying with no wins from its first five games, but CONMEBOL's grueling 18-match qualifying schedule gives La Blanquirroja plenty of time to recover.
After a drought-ending run to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, where it finished third in a group with eventual winner France, Peru currently sits in last place in 2022 World Cup qualifying with its only point coming from an opening-match draw with Paraguay.
Meanwhile, Ecuador saw its hot start to qualifying stifled by a Brazilian side that has yet to lose in five qualifiers.
