Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
Estadio Monumental de Maturin will be the centre of attention when Venezuela and Brazil lock horns in a highly-anticipated World Cup qualifier. La Vinotinto made a flying start to their campaign, but they are on a six-game winless run ahead of the visit of Brazil. Even though all Yefferson Soteldo, Tomas Rincon, and Salomon Rondon made the cut, home win should not be considered as Venezuela do not seem to be at their sharpest.
The Selecao, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Chile and Peru and even though Real Madrid ace Rodrygo has been ruled out with injury, we are tempted to place our bets on the visitors. In their last meeting in Caracas Brazil defeated Venezuela 3-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Yet another Real Madrid star Endrick has been omitted as well.
Highlighted Team (Brazil):
One of the most decorated teams in world football, Selecao have also been regarded as one of the most attractive and exciting teams with glowing reputation preceding them. Members of the CONMEBOL confederation, Brazil have played their first international in 1914 losing to bitter rivals Argentina with a comfortable 3-0 margin.
Brazil is the most successful nation in the FIFA World Cup with five championship title to their name. However, Selecao failed to advance past the quarter-finals of the last two tournaments last winning their World Cup in 2002. Their last title was the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup and the star-studded team will be looking to get back to winning ways at this year’s historic Copa America Centenario in the United States.
Legendary Pele is Brazil’s top scorer with 77 goals to his name, while the team’s biggest star of the modern era Barcelona forward Neymar is sitting in fifth place having so far netted 46.
