That is why Ricardo Gareca's coaching staff is carefully analyzing each player who will be considered from the start and who will have the mission of getting the three points at home.
The 'Tigre' will not be able to count on a key element in his scheme for this match, such as Alexander Callens, who was ruled out of the match against the 'Vinotinto' due to injury. Carlos Cáceda was also ruled out for health reasons, and his place was taken by Alianza Lima goalkeeper Ángelo Campos.
The Peruvian national team would face Venezuela with Pedro Gallese in goal; in defense, Luis Advíncula, Christian Ramos, Luis Abram, and Miguel Trauco will be present. In midfield, Renato Tapia and Yoshimar Yotún will be joined by André Carrillo, Sergio Peña, and Christian Cueva up front.
In the offensive, Gianluca Lapadula is a definite starter. The national forward comes from scoring his first goal in the qualifiers against Bolivia.
