Latest football match prediction: Argentina vs Venezuela
Few teams in the world can qualify as easily as Argentina in the notoriously tough South American region.
AlbicelesteThey have earned 35 points after 16 matches, leaving Ecuador and Brazil in second and third place 10 points behind.
Despite being held to a 1-1 draw at home against Colombia – their second consecutive drop in points in the qualifiers – Argentina still showed their resilience when Thiago Almada scored a late equalizer despite being down to 10 men.
This draw ended a four-game winning streak, but there's no denying that Argentina is currently the number one force in South America and is likely to enter the World Cup finals as a top contender for the title.
Not only does Lionel Scaloni's team possess a top-class attack, but they also rely on a solid defense, with five clean sheets at home in the qualifiers. They last beat Venezuela 3-0 at home and hope to repeat that scenario.
However, Venezuela did draw 1-1 with Argentina in the first leg – a point that could be decisive in the race with Bolivia for a place in the intercontinental play-off.
With the top 6 almost decided, the playoff spot is now a two-way race between Venezuela and Bolivia.
Venezuela's victory against Bolivia in matchday 15 in June was a crucial turning point, temporarily extending their lead to four points. However, a defeat against Uruguay a few days later, coupled with Bolivia's win against Chile, narrowed the gap to just one point.
The chances of getting points in this match are very low, as Venezuela has lost six consecutive away games and faces a very strong Argentina side. However, Bolivia also has to play away against Colombia and is not considered a strong opponent.
The race will most likely be decided in the final round, when Venezuela hosts Colombia. A win could be enough for them to secure a play-off spot, or even just level on points with Bolivia thanks to a better goal difference, if their opponent draws or loses against Brazil.
