On the upcoming Wednesday, the Argentina national team will host the team of Venezuela at its home ground within the 16th round of the 2018 World Cup qualification tournament in South America. The Argentinians are approaching the match as the clear favorites and it is hard to disagree with such action line, especially considering high motivation of the future hosts. Only three rounds left until the end of the tournament and the Argentinians still haven’t guaranteed themselves a spot in the top-four of the peloton.
After 15 played rounds in the qualification tournament, the Argentina national team is situated on the fifth position the team has 23 points in the asset. The Chile national team has the same amount, but the Chileans have better secondary indicators. Uruguay have one point more, Colombia have two more, the Brazil national team has guaranteed itself the first place.
The Venezuela national is located on the last, tenth position in the tournament table after 15 rounds. The future guests have seven gained points in the asset, Bolivia have three points more. Venezuela had seven away matches in the current qualification cycle, in which there was one 2:2 draw with Peru, all the rest matches were lost. Six goals were scored in the matches. Venezuela are the weakest team of South America at the moment.
The Argentina national team has a very high motivation for the upcoming game, there is basically no doubt, that the team may defeat the Venezuelans, the only question is with what score it will happen. There is a great probability, that Venezuela wouldn’t be able to even score a goal on the upcoming Wednesday, as the level of the future opponents is very different.
Prediction for the match: Argentina to win flawlessly
