The venue gives this friendly extra weight because Nu Stadium is hosting its first international match. Haiti also have a strong Miami crowd connection, which should make the atmosphere feel closer to a home send-off than a neutral friendly. Peru bring a stronger historical profile, but Haiti carry the sharper current tournament purpose.
Haiti Recent Form – Last 5 Matches
Haiti’s recent form has become one of the stronger stories before the tournament. The 4-0 win over New Zealand gave Migne proof that his squad can create chances without leaning on only one forward. The qualifying results also show a team that has learned how to manage pressure late in matches.
| Date | Opponent | Competition | Result | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jun 2, 2026 | New Zealand | Friendly | Win | 4-0 |
| Mar 28, 2026 | Iceland | Friendly | Draw | 1-1 |
| Nov 18, 2025 | Honduras | World Cup qualifying | Win | 2-0 |
| Nov 13, 2025 | Costa Rica | World Cup qualifying | Draw | 1-1 |
| Oct 14, 2025 | Nicaragua | World Cup qualifying | Win | 3-0 |
Nazon, Pierrot, Isidor, Providence, and Joseph give Haiti different attacking routes. The key is whether Haiti can keep midfield support close enough to the forwards against Peru’s technical midfield. A strong first half would let Migne rotate without losing control.
Peru Recent Form – Last 5 Matches
Peru’s recent form explains why this friendly matters for Menezes. The draw with Honduras gave Peru attacking moments, but the Senegal defeat showed that the defensive structure still needs work. Missing the 2026 World Cup has shifted the focus toward a reset, not short-term tournament preparation.
| Date | Opponent | Competition | Result | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 31, 2026 | Honduras | Friendly | Draw | 2-2 |
| Mar 28, 2026 | Senegal | Friendly | Loss | 0-2 |
| Sep 9, 2025 | Paraguay | World Cup qualifying | Loss | 0-1 |
| Sep 4, 2025 | Uruguay | World Cup qualifying | Loss | 0-3 |
| Jun 10, 2025 | Ecuador | World Cup qualifying | Draw | 0-0 |
Gallese, Advincula, Pena, Quispe, Flores, and Grimaldo give Peru enough experience and ball security to compete. The issue is whether Peru can create enough penalty-box threat without leaving space behind. Haiti’s pace makes that balance difficult.
Haiti vs Peru Head to Head Record
Peru beat Haiti 1-0 in the Copa America Centenario in 2016, which remains the most relevant modern senior reference. Inter Miami’s match announcement says the teams meet for the fourth time, but the full senior record still needs a clean match-by-match verification. Current form gives Haiti more confidence than the historical gap suggests.

Haiti vs Peru Predicted Lineups
The projected lineups use Haiti’s New Zealand XI, Peru’s reported training shape, current squad information, and likely preparation needs. Official team sheets are yet to be confirmed. Haiti may rotate after halftime, while Peru could use Vidales as the central striker.

4-2-3-1Peru
4-2-3-1Key Players to Watch
Duckens Nazon gives Haiti experience, finishing, and emotional leadership before the World Cup. Wilson Isidor and Frantzdy Pierrot can change the match with movement and physicality, while Ricardo Ade anchors the defensive line. Peru need Gallese, Advincula, Pena, Quispe, and Grimaldo to manage the ball under pressure.
Haiti vs Peru – Tactical Preview
Haiti should press in waves and attack quickly once Peru lose the ball. Nazon can occupy the centre-backs, while Isidor and Providence can attack the channels. Peru need Pena and Quispe to receive cleanly, or the match can become too vertical.
Peru’s safest route is to slow the tempo and make Haiti defend longer possessions. That can pull Haiti’s wide players deeper and reduce counter-attacking space. Haiti still have the stronger transition threat, so Menezes needs his full-backs to choose forward runs carefully.
Haiti vs Peru Team News
Haiti News
Haiti have already named their 26-man Haiti World Cup squad, so Migne can use this match as a direct tournament rehearsal. The 4-0 win over New Zealand gave Les Grenadiers a major confidence lift, with the front line and second-half substitutes both producing clear impact. Johny Placide, Ricardo Ade, Jean-Kevin Duverne, Danley Jean-Jacques, Wilson Isidor, Duckens Nazon, and Frantzdy Pierrot remain central to the plan.
Migne made broad changes against New Zealand, so another heavy rotation is possible in Miami. Haiti need match rhythm, but they also need to protect key forwards before facing Scotland on June 13. The strongest XI should still keep Nazon or Isidor close to goal because Peru can be vulnerable when pressed. Official starting XIs are yet to be confirmed.
Peru Team News
Peru arrive in Miami with Mano Menezes still searching for his first win after taking over the national team project. Peruvian reports indicate that Menezes has tested Jhonny Vidales as the central forward, with Pedro Gallese, Luis Advincula, Sergio Pena, Piero Quispe, Joao Grimaldo, and Edison Flores among the senior options. The squad is being reshaped toward the 2030 qualifying period.
The Bicolor lost 2-0 to Senegal and then drew 2-2 with Honduras during the March window, so defensive stability remains the first target. Peru should have enough technique to control spells, yet Haiti’s pace can punish slow rest defence. Menezes may use the match to test younger players around the experienced spine. Official starters are yet to be confirmed.
Haiti vs Peru Prediction
Haiti are narrow favorites because they have World Cup urgency, recent attacking momentum, and a crowd advantage in Miami. Peru still have enough technical quality to control spells, especially if Pena and Quispe settle early. The most likely result is a tight Haiti win with Peru scoring through a set piece or second-phase attack.
Prediction: Haiti 2-1 Peru
| Outcome | Probability |
|---|---|
| Haiti win | 43% |
| Draw | 28% |
| Peru win | 29% |
