Venezuela vs Chile Prediction

Notwithstanding a fighting performance against Brazil on Friday night where they just lost by a lone goal, Venezuela stay pointless after three games and they are yet to find the net. That is seemingly brutal on them given that their performances have maybe deserved more, however, the fact remains that they urgently need to need to get a few points here to avoid being caught adrift in qualification.

Visiting Chile – who got their first success of the campaign against Peru last break – won’t be feeling beneficent, however. The Chileans have won the last five meetings between the two teams and basically have greater quality in their positions contrasted with the hosts so they are liked to sneak an away win here in a match that is probably going to be low scoring.

Venezuela has lost three conflicts in a row, and Jose Peseiro will make a decent attempt to pull back his team from the consecutive defeats in their schedule. The host has scored no goals in each of the three defeats, which shows that their forefront isn’t effective. Also, the shaky defense will open doors for the adversaries in the game.

Chile has been a strong competitor from South American football, and their attack will be difficult for the host to keep under control. The guest has lost just one of their last five conflicts in the schedule. Thus, they will come in hot with a good form on the road.

The double chance preferring Chile will likely be the smartest choice for the punters, thinking about the away team’s overall presentation in the campaign this term.

Chile’s superior individual class – as typified by Arturo Vidal’s miracle strike a week ago – ought to demonstrate enough to leave Venezuela’s Estadio Olimpico having gained a significant win on Tuesday.

The hosts presently can’t seem to try and enroll a goal in three games and that absence of attacking danger should leave Reinaldo Rueda’s guests to press forward freely unafraid of retaliation.
