Brazil vs Venezuela Prediction 13.10.2023

• Competition: World Cup Qualification
• Date: 13.10.2023
• Kickoff: 01:30 UTC +1 / 02:30 CEST
• Venue: Arena Pantanal (Cuiabá)

With the addition of another place in the South American qualification zone for the World Cup, granting direct placement, it appears that the task has become simpler and less daunting for the continent’s top national teams, Brazil and Argentina. Brazil effortlessly secured victories in their first two qualifying matches.

On paper, Selecao is expected to have yet another straightforward match. Historically, they have never been defeated by Venezuela in official home matches. Following their elimination against Croatia in the quarter-finals of the World Championship in Qatar, Brazil hasn’t had many opportunities to play. Unfortunately, they underperformed in friendly matches against Senegal and Morocco, but managed to secure a victory against Guinea. The national coach can take satisfaction in the impressive form of Rodrygo and Neymar, both of whom scored two goals each against Bolivia.

In every new qualifying competition, Venezuela consistently assumes the role of underdog with minimal expectations. Their chances are boosted by an additional spot in the final tournament, and their recent victory against Paraguay brought a pleasant surprise. Nevertheless, when facing formidable opponents like Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, etc., they rely on their rivals not having a particularly inspired day and their own attack not performing at its best.

Brazil vs Venezuela pick: OVER 3,5 GOALS TOTAL

The dream of Venezuela to qualify for the first World Cup is always present. It is approaching 100 years since the first final tournament in Uruguay in 1930 and it would be nice if this national team managed to pass this or the next qualification. However, some teams are too strong for them, and Brazil certainly stands out here. In the last match played on Brazilian soil, Venezuela lost but conceded only 1 goal. Now we should expect something more from the hosts who played an excellent attacking match against Bolivia, scoring 5 goals. We expect an easy victory for Brazil with 3, 4 and maybe even more goals in total.
