Los Incas are back at the World Cup for the first time since 1982 and have received a reprieve, with the news talismanic striker Paolo Guerrero has had his drugs ban reduced.
Denmark are again expected to provide stubborn yet unspectacular opposition but have the added magic of Christian Eriksen.
Guerrero is likely to start up front on his own, while the Danes will choose between Nicolai Jorgensen or Kasper Dolberg for their lone striker role.
