Venezuela and Argentina meet in Monagas on Thursday night in CONMEBOL qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, with Leonel Messi and Co looking to continue their fine start to the competition.
The hosts were not able to replicate the form that took them to the Copa America quarter finals during the September international break. Fernando Batista’s side began the last international break with a humiliating 4-0 defeat to Bolivia and also failed to find the back of the net in their subsequent game, drawing goalless with Uruguay. Considering that La Vinotinto also failed to score in two of their last three meetings with the Argentinians, things could get worst this week.
Argentina meanwhile have done almost everything right since winning the World Cup. Lionel Scaloni’s men conceded defeat in just two of their 22 games since the final in Qatar, registering a record number of 19 wins. The Blue and Whites also lifted the Copa America trophy in that spell and currently sit top of the standings in Qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
Venezuela vs Argentina Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
While Venezuela have failed to score in each of their last two matches, their scoring record against the Argentinian national team isn’t too bad, with Fernando Batista’s men scoring a total of eight goals over the course of the last seven meetings between the two nations. Bets on over 2.5 goals were won in five of those encounters and I expect a similar result on Thursday.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Venezuela vs Argentina prediction: 1-3
