⏰ 6 July 2024 - 02:00 GMT +1

🏟 Stadium: AT&T Stadium (Arlington, TX)

Venezuela has advanced to the Copa América quarter-finals after winning all three matches in Group B, a first in their 18 tournament appearances. A victory against Canada, ranked six places above them, would see the Wine-Red reach the semi-finals for the first time since 2011.

Venezuela's defense has been solid, conceding only once and aiming for a third consecutive clean sheet. Offensively, they've scored all six of their goals in the second half of matches.

Canada has also struggled to score early, netting just once in the group stage, yet managed to finish second in Group A. Like Venezuela, Canada has kept clean sheets in their last two games, with only top-ranked Argentina scoring against them in their last four matches.

Jesse Marsch's team is the first debutant in over 20 years to reach the knockout stages. They're now one win away from the semi-finals, though their two previous encounters with Venezuela ended in draws, suggesting this match could go to extra time or penalties.
