Venezuela – Peru : Preview & Prediction
Venezuela, red lantern with 2 points, still has its destiny in hand since a victory over Peru, 3rd with 4 points, would send it to the quarterfinals. But La Vinotinto is not in a good dynamic since José Peseiro’s players have not won for 5 games !. Venezuela, defeated against Brazil (0-3) on the opening day, obtained 2 draws in the following two days against Colombia (0-0) and against Ecuador (2-2). Aristeguieta’s partners came back from afar against Ecuador as they lost 2 goals to 1 before Hernandez’s equalizing goal in added time (90th + 1). Peru, for its part, also lost against Brazil (0-4) but Rojiblanca made up for it by signing 1 precious success against Colombia (2-1) and 1 draw against Ecuador (2- 2).
Defeated 2 goals to 0 at the break against Ecuador, Peru had great resources to return to the score by Lapadula (49th) and equalize by Carrillo (54th). This draw has a flavor of victory for Peruvians who occupy 3rd place in the group and who have a good chance of reaching the quarter-finals. The equation is simple: if Peru does not lose to Venezuela, the latter will come out of the pools and continue the adventure in this Copa America. Qualification remains the priority for Gareca’s men who have drawn 3 in their last 3 oppositions against this selection of Venezuela in 2016 (2-2), in 2017 (2-2) and in 2019 (0-0).
