Venezuela
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-0
Colombia
Venezuela will be looking to seal their spot in the 2026 World Cup playoffs when they take on Colombia in their last group game. La Vinotinto failed to spoil Argentina’s party (0-3) at Estadio Monumental, but they are surely capable of matching los Cafeteros in front of home fans in Maturin. As always, new Oviedo striker Salomon Rondon will lead the line for the hosts, while pacey midfielder Yeferson Soteldo is pushing for a start.
Colombia, on the other hand, have little to play for in Wednesday’s qualifier as they have already booked their spot at the World Cup finals. As Venezuela want this win more than Colombia, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. As always, a man to watch in the away team will be captain James Rodriguez, who impressed in a 3-0 win over Bolivia, with Bayern Munich ace Luis Diaz keeping his place in the starting XI as well. Fenerbahce striker John Duran remains in the recovery room.
Highlighted Team (Colombia):
Seleccion de futbol Colombia has stepped on to the international scene in 1938 with its competitive debut against Mexico. Colombia has in recent years become a national symbol of strength representing country’s efforts to fight the negative reputation.
Passionate about their football team, Colombians have formed a huge fan base which enjoyed in their team’s impressive run to the 2014 FIFA World Cup quarter-finals at the competition in which Real Madrid star James Rodriguez was awarded the Golden Boot for most goals and the Best Goal of the Tournament awards. Jose Pekerman’s team has also been named the Fair Play team at the same event.
The fans were pretty disappointed to see their team reach the quarter-final stage at the 2015 Copa America though as Colombia crashed out in disappointing fashion losing to Argentina after a penalty kick. Radamel Falcao remains the most prominent star of the current team despite his poor spells with Manchester United and Chelsea respectively. Monaco striker is also the team’s top scorer with 25 goals added to his name.
