Venezuela are on the verge of securing a place in the Copa America semi-finals for only the second time in their history, but they must get past Canada at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Friday first.
La Vinotinto have been knocked out this quarter-final stage in two of the last three Copa America tournaments, but this time head into the clash with Canada full of confidence after topping Group B with nine points after defeating Jamaica 3-0 last weekend.
The Canadians, meanwhile, advanced to the knockout stage as Group A runners-up after beating Peru and hanging onto a 0-0 draw with Chile on matchday three, and they will not make things easy for Venezuela.
