Venezuela vs Bolivia: Storylines
Venezuela have suffered a number of problems within the federation that have inevitably had an impact on the senior national team, with Jose Peseiro stepping away after 14 months of debt. But there’s renewed optimism with the arrival of Pekerman, who hasturned the fortunes of Colombia a few years back.
La Vinotinto are bottom of the standings with seven points (W2 D1 L11) and head into this clash hoping to end a three-game losing streak. It won’t be an easy challenge for Pekerman and results probably won’t come overnight, but if Venezuela trust the process, they might change their history for good.
The outlook is better for Bolivia, despite they don’t seem to be among the strongest teams in the continent. They have won three out of their four last games (L1), including a stunning 3-0 victory over Uruguay last time out, but all of their wins came at home so far. Will they pick up their first road win?
