Argentina vs Venezuela Prediction and Expert Tips

Argentina vs Venezuela Match Preview

The South American 2026 World Cup qualification will be concluded with two more rounds. These two matches are crucial to Venezuela and they need to win it both if their aim is to move into the top six, which is promotion place. They appear to have achieved a late realization regarding this since two out of their overall four victories in 16 rounds of qualifiers were registered in the last three fixtures. Their recent qualifier match against Uruguay concluded in a 2-0 loss as well.

Argentinian coach Fernando Batista’s biggest challenge of this campaign on paper will begin on Friday, as his team travel to his country Argentina. Moreover, Argentina comfortably reached the World Cup qualifiers and top the qualifiers table with a point difference of 10 with Ecuador in second position. A five-game unbeaten run in the campaign further adds to that and will be playing with the whole squad as well.

It has been a rarity that Argentina lose a head-to-head game against Venezuela. They have played each other numerous times since 1967 and Argentina lost only twice throughout. Argentina plays even better when played at home, boasting a 100% win record except for only two games. So the hope of a must win of Venezuela may be crushed by Argentinians on Friday at their most iconic Estadio Monumental.

Argentina vs Venezuela Prediction

Lionel Scaloni and Argentina have been able to carry an unbeaten run since their qualifier loss to Uruguay in their third home match this season. Argentina have not lost a match since that home defeat and only one of the 14 fixtures has seen them accept a draw. A win is the only result they have their eyes set on domestically and it’s not likely to be altered by Venezuela on Friday.

The visitors boast a six-game away losing streak with five of the matches World Cup qualifiers. Their defense conceded a combined 14 goals in the five encounters while scoring four. It is catastrophic and will weigh heavily against Argentina, who have scored at least 3 in seven of the last nine they have hosted Venezuela. Also, the entire Argentina squad returned home including their talisman in front of the field Lionel Messi.

Argentinian attack have scored 15 goals in their last five home matches and conceded just 2. Therefore a clean sheet performance with scores galore by Argentina attack is a possibility on Friday. The 3-0 correct score appears to be a good selection since two out of the previous three home victories of Argentina over Venezuela involved that scoreline. They sure will overwhelm and the ht/ft option is a good alternative which suits the predicted score. Asian Handicap market is also available with the -1.5 handicap bet being quoted at a whopping 1.67 odds.
