Chile vs Venezuela prediction: Goals to flow in Chile

Key stats

• Chile have gone over 2.5 total goals in four of their last five matches.

• Chile have lost four of their last five games and have won just once in 11 games in these qualifiers.

While both of these teams have struggled to win games recently, Chile have lost most of their matches, while Venezuela held on to some impressive draws.

It is clear from these Chile vs Venezuela odds that the bookies don't have a clear favourite in this game. That being said, Chile are the expected winners but not by a huge margin.

This makes sense given that Chile will have the home-court advantage, but they've been the worst team in these qualifiers and Venezuela will certainly have their chance in this match.

Chile preview: Hoping for their second win of the qualifiers

After 11 games in the WC qualifiers, Chile sit at the bottom of the group standings with one win and six points. While there are still seven rounds left until the end of the cycle, Chile's chances of reaching the World Cup are slim. However, a win over Venezuela would change that perspective a bit since they are seventh in the standings and six points ahead of Chile.

Venezuela preview: In the race to qualify for the World Cup

At the moment, Venezuela are seventh in the group standings, which is a place that would secure them a spot in the inter-confederation playoffs. That being said, Venezuela are without a win in their last seven games in the qualifiers and while they've only lost twice in that span, they need to start winning soon or they risk falling down the table.

Venezuela will have to manage without Yangel Herrera, who got injured a few days ago in the team's duel with Brazil. Also in that same game, Alexander Gonzalez was sent off, so he will miss this match through suspension.

Predicted lineup: Romo (GK), Aramburu, Ramirez, Angel, Navarro, Casseres, Martinez, Bello, Savarino, Murillo & Rondon

Player to watch: Salomon Rondon

At 35 years of age, Rondon is still going strong. After all, he is Venezuela's top scorer in these WC qualifiers with three goals. Of course, Rondon is the top scorer in the history of the national team with 45 goals, but he's still adding to this tally and increasing the advantage over the next player on the list.
