Predicted Lineups and Team News
Peru possible XI under Mano Menezes
Mano is leaning on experience. The average age of the projected XI is 31.
Possible XI: Pedro Gallese; Luis Advíncula, Carlos Zambrano, Miguel Araujo, Marcos López; Renato Tapia, Yoshimar Yotún, André Carrillo; Gianluca Lapadula, Paolo Guerrero, Edison Flores.
It is a 4-3-3 with a double pivot and wide overloads.
Experience focused selection with average age 31
The choice is deliberate. Mano wants leadership against a fast USA side. Experience over experimentation is the message.
That means veterans start, youngsters watch from the bench.
Why Erick Noriega is not starting and tactical reasoning
Erick Noriega is in the squad but not in the starting XI. Mano prefers Tapia-Yotún for ball security and defensive cover.
Noriega will likely enter after 60 minutes to add energy. It is a squad management decision, not a drop.

USA will rotate. Expect a mix of Europe based starters and MLS depth. Pulisic is likely to feature. The back line will be tested by Lapadula’s movement.

No major injuries reported for Peru’s core. USA has a few absentees due to club commitments. Final lineups drop 60 minutes before kick off on America TV.
