Uruguay return home after a key game against Paraguay in what was a difficult victory but with three points at the end. Before that victory the team had lost by beating against Bolivia on the road.
Venezuela won a recent game with Pekerman as head coach, it seems the team has a better strategy to play, but it is almost impossible for Venezuela to reach Qatar 2022.
Uruguay lineup
Uruguay are in the fifth spot of the standings with 19 points and a record of 5-4-6, that spot gives the team access to the inter-confederation play-offs. But the Uruguayans want to qualify directly for Qatar 2022.
Luis Suarez scored the only goal against Paraguay in the recent victory, but that goal was evidence that Uruguay's offense depends a lot on the team's superstars like Suarez or Cavani.
Uruguay starting XI: Sergio Rochet; Ronald Araujo, Diego Godin, Jose Maria Gimenez, Mathias Olivera; Facundo Pellistri, Rodrigo Bentancur, Federico Valverde, Giorgian De Arrascaeta; Edinson Cavani, Luis Suarez.
Venezuela lineup
Venezuela are bottom of the standings but the team wants to win another game to show that it is in good form. The victory at home against Bolivia was one of the most outstanding for Vinotinto in recent years, especially with the head coaching crisis that the team was experiencing.
Pekerman seems to have figured out the best lineup for Venezuela, albeit a bit late as the team has no chance of playing in Qatar 2022. But the new head coach has enough time to make any adjustments during ther final games in the qualifiers.
Venezuela starting XI: Wuilker Fariñez, Ronald Hernandez, Jhon Chancellor, Nahuel Ferraresi, Oscar Gonzalez, Tomas Rincón, Romulo Otero, Jose Martínez, Yefferson Soteldo, Darwin Machis, Salomón Rondón.
