After the resounding victory over Bolivia in the National Stadium, the Peruvian National Team is already thinking about their next challenge in the Qualifiers: Venezuela. Especially because they will be visiting a stadium where the team has experienced victories for several years, but that Ricardo Gareca will seek to unlock in order to keep us alive on the road to the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
With fourteen points and in seventh place, two units away from the fourth position on the table, Peru is obliged to win on Venezuelan soil in order to climb positions and secure a spot in the Qatar World Cup. However, the team will have to face the statistics.
The last victory that the Peruvian National Team achieved in their visit to Venezuela was on August 20, 1997, a match corresponding to the Qualifiers for the 1998 France World Cup, which ended in a 3-0 victory in favor of Peru.
In other words, the last five times that Peru has faced Venezuela at their home in the Qualifiers, they have not been able to secure a victory, with one draw and four losses.
It is true that the numbers are not in our favor, but with the 'Tigre' in the dugout, anything is possible, and he will try to make an impact in Caracas, just as he has done before in Asuncion and Quito, to bring us closer to our goal: the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
