Venezuela vs Mexico Preview
Venezuela
Venezuela unexpectedly defeated Ecuador 2-1 in the first round, breaking their five-match winless streak. This victory was one of the main sensations of the tournament so far.
While they were trailing 0-1 after Enner Valencia was sent off, they managed to come back in the second half thanks to goals from Jhonder Cadiz and Eduard Bello, who both came on as substitutes.
Before the tournament, Venezuela was considered one of the main outsiders of the group. However, this surprise victory has significantly boosted their chances of advancing to the next round.
Mexico
Mexico started the Copa America with a victory, defeating Jamaica by a minimal 1-0 score. The game was entertaining, and both sides had chances to hit the net several times. Despite being considered a dark horse in the tournament, Mexico demonstrated that they could be a formidable opponent for any team.
Most of Mexico’s squad is composed of players from the domestic league, yet they are now just a step away from qualifying for the next round.
However, the victory came at a cost. Edson Alvarez, the 26-year-old West Ham midfielder with an important role in the squad, sustained an injury. It’s unclear whether he will feature in the upcoming meetings.
Bet hereVenezuela vs Mexico Prediction
- Pick: Mexico to Win
- Odds: 2.19 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Venezuela 0-2 Mexico
Venezuela perfectly used their one-man advantage for most of the match against Ecuador. However, even when they were playing 11 vs 10, they conceded a goal before halftime.
Despite making a comeback in the second half, their performance left much to be desired. Fernando Batista’s team didn’t make a good impression before Enner Valencia was ejected, and a similar scenario seems likely against Mexico.
In contrast, Mexico showcased an impressive display against Jamaica, dominating possession and scoring a crucial goal. With a chance to secure a spot in the quarterfinals, El Tricolor will be motivated to perform at their best. Given these factors, a reasonable Copa America 2024 prediction in this game will be Mexico to win.
Venezuela vs Mexico Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
- Odds: 1.60 (22Bet)
The Mexicans’ positional attack is reminiscent of the Spanish national team in the 21st century. They dominate possession but fail to create dangerous moments in front of the opponent’s goal.
Venezuela, in turn, with their lower-quality performers, are unlikely to dominate possession against Mexico. We can expect a strict, defensive display from them, similar to their first-half performance against Ecuador.
Given these details, an abundance of goals here seems unlikely. Both teams will likely be cautious, relying on their opponents’ mistakes. Therefore, our football pick is placing a bet on under 2.5 goals.
