Venezuela – Brazil. Forecast and announcement for the World Cup qualification match

On October 14, the match of the 11th qualifying round for the World Cup in South America will be held at “Monumental de Maturin”, in which the national team of Venezuela will meet with the national team of Brazil. The match will start at 23:00 Kyiv time.

Venezuela

The team gave its fans a ray of hope for long-awaited progress a year ago. Starting a new selection, the historical underdog after a 0:1 with Colombia issued a five-game unbeaten streak that fall. And in the summer, at the Copa America, the culprits won all 3 matches of the group round, and not only against Jamaica, but also against such strong opponents as Ecuador and Mexico, which in the end was not released from the group. But, having reached the playoffs, the national team immediately lost to Canada, even on penalty kicks. Since that time, Batista’s wards have not been able to win again. In September there was a 0-4 loss to Bolivia after a goalless draw at home to Uruguay, and last month, sharing points with Argentina itself, they lost 1-2 in Paraguay after a 1-1 draw with the favourites.

Brazil

The national team is under serious pressure. Over the past two decades, everyone has become accustomed to the fact that the eternal favorite of the world championships is eliminated in the quarterfinals. But now the question still arises, will the pentacampeons be there for sure? Although at first they were so sure of this that they started the cycle a year ago without a full-fledged coach. Fernando Dinis as acting started as expected, with a couple of victories, but then in 4 rounds of October-November, they added 1 point, losing three times. And in 2024, already with Dorival Junior, there was a de facto unsuccessful performance at the Copa America (1 victory in the tournament and elimination already in the first round of the playoffs against Uruguay on penalties after 0:0). In addition, having resumed the selection, the Seles lost to Paraguay after a minimal victory over Ecuador. But then they finally took the maximum in the matches against Chile and Peru – but we have to see how they will cope with stronger opponents.

Statistics of personal meetings

Seleção does not lose to an outsider in official matches, and there was one defeat in a friendly, in 2008.

Forecast

Bookmakers do not believe that the hosts will revive. The Brazilians need a victory, and they will get it (coefficient – 1.62).
