The Socceroos must defeat Peru if they are any chance of qualifying for the Round of 16. The game will be played at Fisht Olympic Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 12am (AEST) on Wednesday, June 27.

This is The Roar’s guide to Australia’s clash with Peru, where you will find all you need to know about the game, including the start time and broadcast information.

Australia came agonisingly close to downing Denmark last week, with the Socceroos ruing missed opportunities in the one-all draw. All eyes will be on teenage sensation Daniel Arzani and whether he is given more game time by Australian coach Bert van Marwijk.

The non-appearance of Socceroos legend Tim Cahill was also a surprise and it will be interesting to see whether he is part of van Marwijk’s plans.
