Venezuela vs Canada Prediction & Match Preview

Venezuela vs Canada Prediction

• Venezuela won all three group stage fixtures and finished at the top of Group B table.
• Canada’s last two unbeaten group stage outings helped them qualify for the quarterfinals.
• Venezuela scored 6 goals in their three Copa America fixtures, while Canada failed to score in two of their three Copa America matches.
• These two teams have faced each other just twice in the past, and both matches ended in a draw.

Venezuela was a surprise package this season. They defeated all three teams they played in the group stage, including prominent American teams Mexico and Ecuador. As a result, they finished at the top of Group B.

Meanwhile, Canada started the season with a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Argentina. However, a 1-0 win against Peru and a goalless draw against Chile helped them survive the group stage and secure a spot in the quarterfinals. They face a tough test on Saturday against Venezuela, who have been securing victories since the start of the campaign.

Venezuela vs Canada Team News and Predicted Lineups

Venezuela Team News

Manager Batisto Fernando tried the 4-2-3-1 formation in Venezuela’s last group stage match against Jamaica, with four new players in the starting 11. However, in-form Rondon and Bello scored in that match, and the lineup changes did not significantly affect their gameplay. With the quarterfinals approaching, we expect Batisto to switch to a 4-4-2 formation.

Venezuela Predicted Lineup

Venezuela (4-4-2): Romo – Aramburu, Osorio, Ferraresi, Navarro – Savarino, Herrera, Martinez, Soteldo – Bello, Rondon

Canada Team News

Coach Jesse Marsch used three different formations in Canada’s three Copa America matches. Jonathan David’s 74th-minute goal secured their first win of the season against Peru, with the 3-5-2 formation. All players from the last matches are fit and available, so Marsch is expected to stick with the 3-5-2 formation on Saturday.

Canada Predicted Lineup

Canada (3-5-2): Crepeau – Johnston, Bombito, Cornelius – Davies, Osorio, Eustaquio, Kone, Millar – David, Larin

In-form Venezuela to give a tough challenge for Canada

Venezuela’s current form is highly impressive. They have defied expectations since the beginning and are now considered one of the favorites to reach the Copa America semifinals. On the other hand, Canada has only managed one win so far this season. Considering these factors, we expect Venezuela to win on Saturday.

Venezuela’s goal-scoring trend this season suggests they may score twice against their opponents. Given Canada’s struggles to score in two out of three Copa America matches, we predict a 2-0 scoreline in favor of Venezuela. Betting on Rondon to score at any time is another tip you could consider.
