2. Haiti's 4-0 victory over New Zealand in their last friendly was their first win of the year, boosting team morale.
3. Haiti have scored a total of 8 goals in their last 5 matches, maintaining a stable offensive output with goals in almost every game.
4. Haiti have conceded only 2 goals in their last 5 matches, showing significant improvement in defensive quality and solid backline performance.
 

[(Haiti) Neutral]:

2. Haiti has seen 4 of their last 5 matches produce low-scoring results, indicating a high rate of small-score games recently, which is worth noting.
 

[(Haiti) Weakness]:
1. Haiti currently rank 83rd in the FIFA rankings, while Peru rank 53rd, indicating a considerable gap in strength between the two sides.
 

[(Peru) Neutral]:
1. Peru have already missed out on this summer's World Cup, and these two friendlies are more about serving as sparring partners, raising questions about their level of intent.
 

[(Peru) Weakness]:
1. Peru drew 2-2 with Honduras in a friendly in April and have yet to secure a win in international matches this year, with an underwhelming performance.
2. Peru have scored only 7 goals in their last 10 matches, reflecting a lackluster offensive performance and a deficiency in scoring ability.
3. Peru have conceded 7 goals in their last 5 matches, highlighting significant defensive issues with goals conceded in almost every game.
4. Peru have recorded 2 draws and 8 losses in their last 10 away matches, failing to secure a single win, with their away competitiveness nearly nonexistent and a lack of desire to win.
5. Peru have covered the spread in only 2 of their last 8 matches.
 

[Tips]:
Haiti secured their first win of the year in the last round with a 4-goal victory over New Zealand, boosting team morale. They have scored 8 goals in the last 5 matches, showing stable offensive output, while conceding only 2 goals, indicating a clear improvement in both attack and defense. Although they lost narrowly to Peru in a historical encounter years ago, that was a long time ago and offers little meaningful reference.

Peru failed to qualify for this World Cup, raising doubts about their intent in this friendly. They have yet to win any international match this year, with a draw against Honduras extending their winless streak. Their offensive efficiency is low, with only 7 goals in the last 10 matches, and defensive vulnerabilities are evident, conceding 7 goals in the last 5 games. On the road, they have gone 10 consecutive matches without a win, severely lacking competitiveness away from home.

Despite Peru's higher FIFA ranking, considering their current form and fighting spirit, Haiti can hold their ground and avoid defeat.
 

[Recommended]:
Haiti (+0.5)
