Venezuela vs Brazil
South America – 2018 World Cup Qualifier
Date: Wednesday; 12th October 2016,
Kick-off at 1:30 UK
Venue: Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano, Merida.
As the international week come to a closure, Venezuela have a hard task at hand as they will be hosting South American giants Brazil on Wednesday in the World Cup qualification campaign.
Venezuela suffered a 3-0 defeat away to Uruguay on Friday, N. Lodiero’s 29th minute goal and E. Cavani’s Brace in the 46th and 79th minute were enough to keep Venezuela winless in the Campaign. They are 10th in the table with 2 points to their name and will need more than a miracle to grab a win against Brazil.
Brazil continued their winning streak as they bullied Bolivia 5-0 at home on Friday. They are currently 2nd in the table with 18 points, just a point below the leaders Uruguay. Brazil have lost just a game in the campaign so far, with 5 wins and 3 draws. They will be hoping for a win in this game to stand a chance of going top of the table should Uruguay slip.
Brazil are huge favourite in this game, they are in an excellent form recently. They have won their last 3 games, and have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 3 games. The Brazilian team have kept clean sheets in 2 of their last 3 games.
Venezuela are winless in their last 3 games, they have conceded at least 2 goals in each of their last 3 games. Also Venezuela have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 games. So the visitors look good for another comprehensive win and we can expect them to get this done with a healthy margin.
