Player to watch: Paolo Guerrero
As one of the oldest and most experienced players in this Paraguay team, Paolo Guerrero is the captain and our player to watch in this duel with Peru.
Will Guerrero score his 40th goal for Paraguay?
With 39 goals in 117 games for his national team, Guerrero has been a prolific servant for Paraguay. While he's now 40-years-old, he still has some juice left and he's hoping to prove it in this next game.
