Latest information on the Uruguay vs Venezuela match lineups.
Joaquin Piquerez came on as a substitute for Mathias Olivera in the second half against Paraguay and could be given a starting place over Napoli's left-back.
Uruguay will be without their star striker Darwin Nunez – who leads the team's scoring charts with 4 goals – due to suspension. Coach Bielsa will have to find ways to rotate his attacking line to avoid a fourth consecutive goalless match in the qualifiers.
On the Venezuelan side, Salomon Rondon continues to be the biggest hope, having scored 5 out of the team's 15 goals in the qualifiers (33.3%), and this veteran striker is expected to continue playing a leading role.
Midfielders Jose Andres Martinez and Telasco Segovia – who have excelled in defensive duties and controlling the midfield – are expected to feature in the starting lineup for this crucial away match.

Latest Uruguay vs Venezuela football match prediction
Uruguay is experiencing a serious dip in form as they head into the 16th round of World Cup qualifiers, while they must look behind them to secure a place in next year's finals.
Coach Marcelo Bielsa's team had a promising start with 4 wins in the first 6 matches, only 1 loss and 1 draw, thus quickly rising to the top of the table in the opening phase.
However, since then, "La Celeste's" form has plummeted dramatically, with only one more win – a 3-2 victory against Colombia in November 2024.
Uruguay's biggest problem is their inability to score. In their last eight winless matches, they failed to score in seven of them – including a four-game goalless streak before beating Colombia, with 0-0 draws against Paraguay, Venezuela, Ecuador, and a 0-1 defeat against Peru.
After that, they only scored one goal in the next four matches – a 1-1 draw away at Brazil – and continued to fail to score in defeats against Argentina (0-1), Paraguay (0-2), and in between a 0-0 draw away at Bolivia.
Although Uruguay currently holds fifth place – one of the six direct qualification spots for the World Cup – their rivals Venezuela are close behind with only 3 points less, and their direct confrontation midweek could cause "La Celeste" even more anxiety.
Fernando Batista's team is in excellent form, having secured two consecutive victories against Peru and Bolivia – while Uruguay has only managed to earn one point in their last two matches – thus significantly narrowing the gap.
Venezuela started the qualifying round with 2 wins in their first 4 matches (1 loss) and was once considered a potential "spoiler" in the race to qualify for the World Cup for the first time in history.
Although a subsequent nine-match winless streak dimmed their hopes, their recent strong comeback has placed them in seventh position – a spot in the intercontinental play-offs – and they can certainly dream bigger, as Colombia and Uruguay are only three points ahead, while the unstable Brazil is only four points away.
Venezuela's two most recent victories have both been clean sheets – a remarkable statistic considering their opponent Uruguay is currently experiencing a goal-scoring crisis.
