What is Venezuela and Peru's Copa América record?

Venezuela vs Peru - Injuries and suspensions
La Vinotinto was handed a massive injury blow in their next to last game, as Adalberto Peñaranda picked up an injury in the team's 3-1 loss against Mexico. The 22-year-old Watford wingman will be sorely missed by Rafael Dudamel's men, as none of his footballers has the dribbling skills shown by Peñaranda.
Peru enters this game without any major absence, following Paolo Guerrero's return to the team. Paolo Hurtado was the only player to be left out of Ricardo Gareca's preliminary squad.
