Venezuela vs Argentina: Predictions and Betting Tips

Venezuela 

The Venezuelans come into this match in a downward spiral, having finished last in their five-team group in the Copa America, without a single win. Only two teams out of ten teams participating fail to qualify for the next round, and, this year, Venezuela was one of them.

In the qualifiers for the World Cup in Qatar, things are not going well for Venezuela either, with one win, one draw and four defeats in six matches. They are in second-to-last place in the standings.

Venezuela’s last win over Argentina in an official match was in 2011.

Argentina

Argentina come into this match on a high after becoming Copa America champions for the 15th time, equalling Uruguay’s tally.

The Argentinians are in second place in the World Cup qualifiers with 12 points from six matches, so they would have to do very badly in their subsequent matches for them to fail to reach the cut.

Since 1967, Argentina have only lost twice to Venezuela, and only once in an official match.

Key Stats:

• Three draws and two defeats for Venezuela in their last five games
• Venezuela have only scored two goals in their last five games
• Five wins for Argentina in their last five games
• Argentina have only conceded two goals in their last five games

Venezuela vs Argentina Predictions

While the Argentinians are coming into this match following victory in an important tournament, and becoming the best team in South America, the Venezuelans are struggling badly, and failing to get wins. In addition, Argentina have Lionel Messi, who boosts the chances of any team he plays for. Therefore, we think Argentina will win this match.
