Venezuela is looking for a bounce back game after the wind was taken out of their sails by Ecuador in a 2-1 loss and holding onto the eight spot by a thread. They will look for their home crowd to light up the stand in a perfect opportunity to right the ship.
Projected Venezuela Starting Lineup:
Romo; González, Mejías, Ferraresi, Makoun; Vargas, Rincón, Segovia, Savarino; Rondón, Josef Martínez
Meanwhile, Peru is starting to find their rhythm. After a frustrating start to qualifying, Los Incas roared back to life on Thursday with a 3-1 win over Bolivia, closing the gap on the teams ahead of them. Now, they sit just one point behind Venezuela, and a win on Tuesday would send them leapfrogging into eighth place, putting them right back in the qualification conversation.
Projected Peru Starting Lineup:
Gallese; Advíncula, Garcés, Abram, Trauco; Aquino, Tapia, Carrillo; Polo, Flores; Guerrero
