Spain vs Peru - Match Preview

European champions Spain, drawn into World Cup Group H alongside Uruguay, Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde, take on a Peru side absent from the tournament - making this a final pre-event tuning exercise for La Roja and a valuable development test for Peru.

This is the second of Spain's two pre-tournament friendlies, following a match against Iraq on 4 June in La Coruña. Head coach Luis de la Fuente has named a squad built around the electrifying wing partnership of Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams, two of the most exciting attacking talents in international football. Notably, for the first time in many years, the squad contains no Real Madrid players, giving the selection a distinctly Barcelona and Atletico Madrid character going into the tournament.

Peru, who failed to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup through the CONMEBOL standings, are using this June window to test their squad against elite opposition and explore tactical options ahead of the next qualification cycle. The Estadio Cuauhtémoc in Puebla - one of the official 2026 World Cup venues - provides an atmospheric and meaningful setting for both sides.

Head-to-Head: Spain vs Peru

Spain and Peru have met just 3 times in history, and Spain have won every single encounter - scoring 7 goals and conceding only 3 across three friendly matches spanning 48 years from 1960 to 2008. La Roja have never lost to Peru.

Here are all three previous meetings between the two nations:

• 10 July 1960 - International Friendly - Lima - Peru 1:3 Spain
• 18 February 2004 - International Friendly - Barcelona - Spain 2:1 Peru
• 31 May 2008 - International Friendly - Huelva - Spain 2:1 Peru

Spain - Recent Form

Spain arrive at this match in strong shape: 3 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats in their last 5 internationals, with 9 goals scored and just 2 conceded.

The standout result was a composed 3:0 win over Serbia in March 2026, controlled from first minute to last without conceding. A few months earlier in November 2025, La Roja had produced one of the form performances of the Nations League cycle by thrashing Georgia 4:0 away from home. The 2:2 draw with Turkey - where Spain led 2:0 before the final minutes - and the goalless stalemate against Egypt in March were the only points dropped across these 5 matches.

Álvaro Morata leads the attack with 87 caps and 37 international goals, providing experience alongside the raw brilliance of Yamal and Williams. Defensively, just 2 goals conceded in 5 matches underlines how difficult Spain are to break down heading into the World Cup.

Peru - Recent Form

Peru's last 5 matches produced 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats, with 7 goals scored and 8 conceded - a return that highlights inconsistency on both sides of the pitch.

The most positive result was a 2:0 home win over Bolivia in December 2025, where Peru looked organised and clinical in attack. In March 2026, they drew 2:2 with Honduras - twice taking the lead but twice surrendering it. The defeats to Senegal (0:2) and Chile (1:2) in November 2025 exposed clear defensive vulnerabilities, with Peru conceding 4 goals across those 2 games.

A 1:1 draw with Russia in November 2025 demonstrates Peru's capacity to hold their own against stronger opposition. However, defensive inconsistency remains the key challenge for the Peruvian coaching staff ahead of the next CONMEBOL qualifying campaign.
