Uruguay vs Venezuela Preview and Team News

Uruguay Team News

Uruguay take on Venezuela in the 16th round of the FIFA World Cup Qualification competition on Tuesday. The home squad, who are historically known to be a great threat at the Estadio Centenario, are currently ranked 13th in the standings. In the league table, they occupy fifth place with 21 points in their bag. 

The team are not on a good run of form, having only won one out of their previous five matches, drawing and losing two. What’s most worrying for their supporters is that Uruguay haven’t scored in their last three outings, and have picked up only four goals in the two games prior to that. 

Defensively, Uruguay are known to employ a hybrid system of man-marking and zonal marking, and we can expect to see this in Tuesday’s game. They’ve kept just one clean sheet in their last five events, which means their defenders haven’t been in good shape either. Luckily, they don’t have any significant injuries at this time.

Venezuela Team News

Venezuela, who are among the underdog teams in the CONMEBOL group, will aim to pick up an upset victory over Uruguay this week. They like using a rather unusual 4-2-2-2 formation in which two wide attackers complement their strikers. 

Soteldo and Savarino usually run in behind the opposition fullbacks and create spaces for their fellow attackers to get into good positions in the final third and take shots at goal.

The visiting team are known for their elegant style. It often gives them the opportunity to push forward with possession, allowing even their fullbacks to bomb ahead and supply the box with crosses. Their recent 2-0 win over Bolivia proved these points well. 

Their defensive midfielders, however, essay the dual role of intercepting the opponents’ build-up of play and also protecting the defence by man-marking their opposite numbers with precision. Coach Fernando Batista will be pleased to select his best possible starting XI in this game since there are no concerning injuries.

Uruguay vs Venezuela Prediction

• Pick: Uruguay to win
• Odds: 1.49 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Uruguay 2-0 Venezuela

The hosts are the favourites to win on Tuesday, and we expect them to do so comfortably. In the last eight matches recorded between these two teams, Uruguay have been unbeaten on seven occasions. Venezuela have defeated them just once. 

Uruguay’s superior attacking unit will be expected to run riot against Venezuela’s defenders, who often leave spaces at the back when trying to contend with passes inside their own half. 

This frailty has left the guests exposed in the past, especially in their games against Ecuador, the USA and Chile. The home squad are sure to keep exploiting this weakness.

Uruguay vs Venezuela Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Both teams to score – NO
• Odds: 1.434 (22Bet)

We don’t anticipate both sides scoring tomorrow. Uruguay are the more dominant of the two squads on offer, and despite their poor run of form, we expect them to turn things around here. We’ve seen this prediction take place in six out of the previous eight matches between the clubs. This strengthens our belief in this encounter. 

Venezuela do not quite have the class in their attacking unit that Uruguay do, which could lead to a massive gulf between the sides. The home team have a lot of top attackers in their ranks, such as Araujo and Pellistri, and can make life a living hell for the visiting defenders. 

Venezuela are virtually minnows in front of the hosts.
