Argentina vs Venezuela Preview and Team News
Argentina Team News
The Estadio Mas Monumental will host a big encounter between Argentina and Venezuela in the 17th round of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers (CONMEBOL) on Thursday. The defending champions of the quadrennial event have won four of their last five matches and drawn the other.
Although Facundo Medina isn’t available for selection, La Albiceleste have enough players in their ranks to cover his absence with capable replacements. Ranked first by FIFA, Argentina are among the classiest sides in the world, especially when it comes to building up play and attacking by using short passes.

However, the team led by the legendary Lionel Messi are not averse to using lobbed balls and crosses either.
Manager Lionel Scaloni prefers his wards to attack from the flanks, with a vertical approach as the fallback.
Messi, as always, will be the player to watch out for. The Argentines sit atop the CONMEBOL table with 35 points and have already qualified for the World Cup. But they’ll still be looking to pick up a win here.
Argentina predicted lineup vs Venezuela (4-3-3): Martinez; Foyth, Otamendi, Romero, Molina; Palacios, Paredes, De Paul; Almada, Alvarez, Messi.
Venezuela Team News
Venezuela, sitting seventh in the CONMEBOL group with 18 points, are still in contention for a World Cup spot. However, they’ll have to win all their remaining games, which might be a tall order given how challenging a fixture with world champions Argentina is likely to be.
Moreover, they’ll be without the services of Jose Andres Martinez, who has been ruled out with a broken hand and isn’t expected back until mid-September.
In their last outing, a 0-2 loss to Uruguay in June, La Vinotinto kept just 41% of the ball. They also lagged behind their opponents by taking a mere 10 shots on goal, only one of which was on target. 79% of Venezuela’s passes against Uruguay were accurate, and this is a department in which head coach Fernando Batista will be looking for significant improvement.
Venezuela predicted lineup vs Argentina (4-3-3): Romo; Navarro, Angel, Ferraresi, Arramburu; Savarino, Casseres Jr, Herrera; Soteldo, Rondon, D. Martinez.
Argentina vs Venezuela Prediction
- Pick: Argentina to win
- Odds: -455 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Argentina 3-0 Venezuela
Argentina have an upper hand over their opponents, and we expect them to win. The quality in their ranks is bound to sail them through. With the likes of Julian Alvarez and Lionel Messi running the show in the final third, very little is expected to go wrong for Scaloni’s side.
Venezuela haven’t been the most cohesive team in defense and are likely to struggle in this fixture as well. A lack of communication, compounded by technical frailties, has contributed to La Vinotinto‘s recent downfall, as evidenced by seven conceded goals in their last five outings. The hosts seem much more secure than their opponents in all three departments: attack, midfield, and defense.
Argentina vs Venezuela Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: First half total – over 1 goal
- Odds: -208 (20Bet)
More than one goal is expected to be scored in the first half of this match. Argentina are expected to be the proponents of this pick, with their three-man frontline favored to run amok. The Venezuelan defenders must sharpen their zonal marking tactics to challenge the hosts, but it will be a monumental task.
Adding to their challenge, La Albiceleste‘s attackers are known to play well off the ball and get into positions that give them the chance to be precise inside the box. Venezuela’s attention will also be deflected by the crosses sent into the final third by Argentina’s fullbacks, sent up constantly by Scaloni’s directions from the flanks.
