Venezuela vs Peru Preview and Team News

Venezuela Team News

Venezuela are in the middle of a rough patch. Their poor form extends through their last eight matches across all competitions. In their previous five World Cup qualifier events, they have 2 draws and 3 defeats. 

This run of form means they’ve only collected 12 points from 13 games. They’ve scored 12 times against the 17 conceded in the process. The side currently sit 8th in the 10-team standing.

Venezuela’s current state is highlighted by the fact that they’ve lost their previous three matches against Chile (4-2), USA (3-1), and Ecuador (2-1). They have, however, scored in each of these three encounters, showing their attacking potency. Nine goals have been conceded compared to the four they scored, highlighting their core challenge.

Venezuela must improve their performance against Peru to bolster their chances. The fact that they’ve not reported fresh injury worries will come as good news for the team.

Peru Team News

Peru have also been in a poor run of form in their World Cup qualifying campaign. Their eight opening matches were winless. Since then, they’ve won twice in their previous 5 games, alongside 2 losses and 1 draw.

Their poor form now sees them with 10 points, sitting second from bottom in the race to make it into the World Cup in the U.S.

Under new manager Oscar Ibanez, Peru secured a 3-1 victory against Bolivia last time out. This bolstered some hope for making it into the playoff position. However, the team’s success away from home has been poor. They have zero away wins or goals scored in this qualification cycle. 

Having a fully fit squad to choose from will give Peru a much-needed boost. However, they’ll have to improve their quality away from home to take anything from Wednesday’s match.

Venezuela vs Peru Prediction 

• Pick: Venezuela To Win
• Odds: 2.088 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Venezuela 2-0 Peru

Venezuela’s success at home has been good in this qualifying cycle. They remain unbeaten in the six matches in front of their supporters. This record gives them an edge ahead of their clash against Peru. 

In contrast, Peru have struggled on the road, not scoring a single goal away from home during this World Cup qualifying campaign. They’re also undergoing some instability with the change of manager and adjusting to Oscar Ibanez’s style of football.

With these dynamics, I`m backing a Venezuela win on Wednesday.

Venezuela vs Peru Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Race To 2 Goals – Venezuela
• Odds: 2.84 (22Bet)

Home advantage will be a significant consideration in this week’s clash. Venezuela have a strong home record during this time round and are unbeaten in six outings.

On the other hand, Peru’s defensive vulnerabilities and struggles to keep a clean sheet, especially when playing away, will be factors to consider. This weakness, and Venezuela’s offensive players like Mendoz, Rondón, and Bello, align that the home side are heavily backed for the win.
