USA face Peru on 26 September 2026 at 23:30 in a friendly after a 4-1 World Cup exit to Belgium. Mauricio Pochettino has selected a youthful squad with Christian Pulisic absent, while Mathis Albert, Adri Mehmeti, Julian Hall, and Cole Campbell could earn their first caps. Peru arrive off a 3-1 defeat to Spain and have won just one of their last ten matches. The prediction is USA 3-1 Peru.
Form and Head to Head
USA have averaged 2.12 goals for and 2.02 against across their last ten matches, with five wins and five losses at home. Their home record shows 4.11 total goals per game on average. Peru have managed only 0.96 goals per game away from home over the same period, conceding 1.76 per outing. The teams drew 1-1 when they last met on 17 October 2018. USA's attacking output at home and Peru's defensive struggles on the road create a clear mismatch in this fixture.
Best Bet
USA to Win offers value given the form disparity. Melbet prices the home win at 1.47, 1xBet at 1.52, and Mostbet at 1.42. USA have scored 2.20 goals per home game while Peru concede 1.83 on their travels, making a USA victory the most likely outcome.
Odds to Watch
Over 2.5 Goals sits at strong odds across the market. USA's home average of 4.11 total goals per match and Peru's inability to keep clean sheets away suggest the match will produce goals. Both teams to score is also worth monitoring given USA's attacking intent and Peru's recent leakiness in defence.
