2018 Russia World Cup in numbers

Australia will be battling it out to reach second, but they are heavily relying on France securing a victory over Denmark.

The South Americans, on the other hand, have not scored at all during their World Cup campaign and will be fighting to take home a few points.

They do have a slight upperhand on Australia, whose last four competitive goals were spotkicks. Peru will be desperate to keep their campaign alive and kicking.

The Socceroos will need to win this game, but will also need to make up the goal difference. The pressure is on.


Follow all the live action below...

What time is it?

Australia vs Peru kicks off at 15:00 at the Fisht Olympic Stadium in Sochi.

Where can I watch it?

ITV will be showing live coverage in ITV4. It will also be available via the ITV Hub on the ITV website.

Odds:

Australia: 9/5

Peru: 11/8

Draw: 23/10

Prediction:

Australia 2-1 Peru. The Socceroos will be working extra hard to secure a place in the top 16, but they will be banking on a Denmark defeat. The South Americans aren't the likely winners and without a point will end up with an early World Cup exit, but who knows? As we've seen so far, anything can happen.
