One of the final two spots in Qatar is on the line Monday when Australia and Peru face off in a 2022 World Cup Qualifying intercontinental final. Australia is representing the Asian Football Confederation after beating the UAE 2-1 last Tuesday, while the Peruvians advanced by finishing fifth in CONMEBOL qualifying. The winner will be placed in Group D with France, Denmark and Tunisia. The remaining spot will be awarded when Costa Rica faces New Zealand on Tuesday. Both matches will be played at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar.
Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. ET. Peru is the -130 favorite (risk $130 to win $100) on the 90-minute moneyline in the latest Australia vs. Peru odds, while Australia is a +325 underdog. A regulation draw is priced +205, and the Over/Under for total goals is set at 2.5.
Before you make any Peru vs. Australia picks or World Cup Qualifying predictions, you NEED to see what renowned soccer bettor Jon "Buckets" Eimer has to say.
Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, Eimer has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. The Indiana-based handicapper is 18-10 on his World Cup Qualifying picks for SportsLine, for a return of well over $600 for $100 bettors. He also is 11-8 on his last 19 soccer picks overall, for a profit of more than $400 for $100 bettors.
Eimer is aware that Peru has faced far better competition in CONMEBOL, battling the likes of World Cup qualifiers Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Ecuador. It has lost seven times since the start of 2021, but three were to Brazil and two were to Argentina and Uruguay. The others were one-goal losses to Bolivia and Colombia. The Peruvians have allowed three goals over their past seven games. Gianluca Lapadula has seven goals in 27 international games, and midfielders Edison Flores and Christian Cueva share the team lead with 15.
The expert also knows the Socceroos come in with confidence after holding UAE star Ali Mabkhout without a goal and getting an 84th-minute strike to advance from the AFC. Jackson Irvine and Ajdin Hrustic scored in the second half, and the Aussies allowed just six shots. They are a strong defensive team, but Melbourne City teammates Jamie McLaren and Mathew Leckie have a combined 20 international goals. McLaren led the Australian A-League with 15 goals in 24 appearances and Leckie had nine for the regular-season champs.
Eimer has taken an in-depth look at the Peru vs. Australia matchup and locked in his best bets. We can tell you he is going Under on the goal total and has a STRONG play on one team to win and his full breakdown of this World Cup Qualifying clash.
