But they play in hot Qatar so I wonder is Australia might prefer that... if Peru play at home, the high altitudes always suck the life out of opponents but elsewhere their inferior height is a problem.
By the way, yes! I completely forgot that the play-off will be held in Doha and at least it does not give any advantage to Peru and perhaps gives some advantage to Australia. In any case, the result will be more random than if these teams played at home, so in such conditions, betting on a formal outsider looks like the right decision.
Yeah! I'm inclined to think the Aussies might actually have the advantage but that's me playing to stereotypes of the weather and conditions over there. It's still a terrible bet to make and am slightly regretting it -- not so much the Aussies but the Kiwis for sure who're the other leg of my ticket. Two really good footballing sides from Concacaf and two less technical but more physical sides from Oceania, I don't know, logic says physique should win out but they also do need to score to win...
