With eight victories out of eight matches, Titeās men will want to keep their perfect record intact against the bottom side of the standings. They are coming from a 2-0 win againstPeru last time out, after not facing Argentina due to the controversy surrounding the health requirements of some players.
Venezuela, on the other hand, will receive Brazil after losing to Paraguay 2-1 in their last match. Before that, they were beaten 1-3 by Argentina at the Estadio OlĆmpico. In fact, the hosts have a nine-match winless streak that seems pretty hard to break against their next rivals.
