Venezuela U-23 vs Brazil U-23 – Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips 08/02/2024

Venezuela U-23 and Brazil U-23 face each other on Thursday night, February 8, 2023, starting at 8pm. The match will take place in the city of Caracas, Venezuela.

Venezuela

The Venezuela under-23 team managed to debut with a precious point at this stage of the tournament and will now face an equally complicated challenge in an attempt to maintain their unbeaten record in search of qualifying for the Olympics.

Their most recent duel was a very busy draw against Argentina under-23, where the Venezuelan team, hosts of the tournament, managed to work hard to overcome the opposing defense a few times in the match.

On that occasion, Venezuela even found the back of the Argentine net twice, but were unable to win, considering that they had a 2-2 draw which served to keep them in the hunt for first place, but a new stumble will leave them in a very delicate situation.

This is because the Venezuelans are currently in third place on the Quadrangular leaderboard, with only 1 point achieved so far. The team has the same score as Argentina under-23, which opens the G-2 of the competition, while Paraguay under-23 leads with three points.

In the last 5 games played, 2 wins, 3 draws and no defeats were recorded. During this period they beat Brazil under-23 and Colombia under-23, in addition to drawing with Ecuador under-23, Bolivia under-23 and also with Argentina under-23.

Acting as home team, the Venezuela under-23 team has a recent record with 3 wins, 5 draws and only 2 defeats in the last 10 matches played.

Brazil

On the other side is Brazil’s under-23 team, which in turn has some of the hottest names of the generation, but is still heavily criticized due to recent results.

This is because last week the Brazilian team suffered a 3-1 defeat to Venezuela under-23 in a huge upset that served to turn on the warning signal in the team.

However, in their debut for Quadrangular, the green and yellow team disappointed again in a 1-0 defeat to Paraguay under-23.

Thus, the Canarinho team occupies the fourth and last place on the leaderboard, being the only one that has not yet scored at this stage of the tournament.

In the last 5 times they entered the field officially, they recorded 3 wins, no draws and only 2 defeats. During this period they beat Bolivia under-23, Colombia under-23 and Ecuador under-23, in addition to losing to Paraguay under-23 and also to Venezuela under-23.

Conclusion:

Owner of a technically more qualified squad that has already proven its value on other occasions in this same Pre-Olympic, the Brazilian team will have two decisive matches ahead of them, starting this Thursday and judging by the potential of the two teams, it is expected a Brazilian triumph to return to the fierce dispute for the G-2 in the best possible way.
