Venezuela – Brazil Preview, Prediction, Odds, Betting Tips 14.11.2024

• Date and Time: November 14, 22:00 GMT+1
• Venue: Monumental de Maturín, Maturín, Venezuela

Venezuela

Venezuela’s World Cup qualification campaign has been disappointing. La Vinotinto is currently in 8th place out of 10 teams in South America. In ten games, they only won twice: a strong 3-0 victory over Chile and a hard-fought 1-0 win against Paraguay.

The Venezuelans have been winless in their last five games, and their record against top teams has been poor. They held Argentina to a 1-1 draw, narrowly lost 2-1 to Italy, and drew 1-1 with Brazil. 

Venezuela have only lost three games but drew five, with just two goals in their last four matches. The team has struggled at the front, only scoring two goals in the last four matches.

Venezuela’s Copa América group stage started promisingly, with the team winning all three matches against Ecuador (2-1), Mexico (1-0), and Jamaica (3-0). However, their journey ended in the knockout phase, as Canada eliminated them in a penalty shootout. 

Venezuela remain unbeaten at home, which could be an advantage. Their away form has been inconsistent, with losses to Bolivia (4-0) and Paraguay (2-1).

Despite their struggles, Venezuela are still in contention for qualification, trailing Bolivia by just one point. Venezuela will face last-placed Chile next, where they are tipped as favorites.

The team will have to do without Yordan Osario, whose injury prevents him from featuring in this fixture.

Brazil

Brazil’s shaky start in World Cup qualification has concerned fans, marked by four losses but partly offset by five wins. Their only draw was against Venezuela (1-1). 

The Seleção’s Copa América performance mirrored these inconsistencies. They advanced from the group stage with only one win (4-1 against Paraguay) and two draws (vs Costa Rica and Colombia). Their tournament run ended against Uruguay, with Marcelo Bielsa’s team prevailing on penalties after a goalless 120 minutes.

Vinicius Jr has faced criticism for not replicating his Real Madrid form with the national team. Similarly, Real Betis forward Luiz Henrique has also struggled to make an impact. 

Fans have started to question Dorival Junior’s tactics, as Brazil continues to search for cohesion. Goalkeeper Alisson remains sidelined, joined on the injury list by Éder Militão and Bremer.

Venezuela vs Brazil Prediction

• Prediction: Brazil to win
• Odds: 1.60 (22Bet)
• Score Prediction: Venezuela 0-1 Brasil

While Venezuela enjoy the advantage of playing on home soil, a win on Thursday seems unlikely. Brazil’s form has shown improvement in recent weeks, especially with the addition of promising talents like Estêvão Willian. They historically dominate this matchup, which explains why betting odds favour Brazil. 

Although Brazil have struggled with an identity crisis, partly due to the differing mentalities between players based domestically and those in Europe, recent weeks suggest progress in their dynamics.

Venezuela vs Brazil Betting Tip

• Pick: Estêvão to score
• Odds: 3.4 (22Bet)

Endrick has impressed with Real Madrid and Brazil in recent games, and he would have been my pick. However, another promising talent is Estêvão Willian, whose attacking flair and striking technique pose a threat to Venezuela’s defenders. 

Estêvão should have ample opportunities to thrive with support from players like Raphinha and Bruno Guimarães. Venezuela often struggle defensively, and their current injury crisis further increases Estevao’s chances. This match offers a perfect opportunity for him to reintegrate with the team after missing the last international break.
