An action-packed start to World Cup qualification in the CONMEBOL region continues this week, with a fascinating showdown between Uruguay and Venezuela. The hosts, who currently sit fifth in the overall standings, could be among the dark horse contenders to secure a berth at the World Cup after seven rounds of matches.
Before making a Venezuela vs Uruguay prediction, it is key to note that the hosts have won two of their seven matches, and they have been held to draws on three occasions. However, the nation were way below their best in their previous outing after falling to a 4-0 defeat in Bolivia on Thursday evening.
Marcelo Bielsa’s Uruguay have been one of the standout nations in the World Cup qualification so far, as they sit second in the overall standings – just four points behind Argentina. Importantly, the South American team boasts a healthy eight-point advantage over seventh-placed Paraguay after seven rounds of World Cup qualifiers.
However, their recent form could be an important trend to consider, as Biela’s side have failed to win in 90 minutes in their last four matches. They returned to competitive action following the Copa America on Saturday, but they were held to a nervy 0-0 home draw by Paraguay.
Bet hereUruguay boasts an excellent record against their South American rivals. They have avoided defeat in each of the last four, and they have scored seven goals and conceded just once across that period.
It is expected to be a close encounter, with each of the last two matches between these sides in Venezuela ending in 0-0 draws. Therefore, under 2.5 goals could be a standout Venezuela vs Uruguay prediction this week.
The Uruguay team clearly lacks goals, with Federico Valverde netting the most goals for his nation in the current squad. The Real Madrid star could be the vital star once again this week, and he is preferred to add to his seven previous efforts for Uruguay on Tuesday.
