Head-to-head statistics Argentina - Venezuela
Argentina Team Overview
According to media reports, Lionel Messi will start the match on the bench, and there’s a chance he might not get off it. It doesn’t make much sense. Argentina secured their World Cup spot quite a while ago, and now their official preparation begins as qualified participants. The qualifying campaign is over. Argentina finished comfortably in first place, conceding only 10 goals in 18 matches. Not bad at all.
The September series of matches was a formality. However, one game still sparks interest. Once again against Venezuela. Despite lacking motivation, the Argentinians secured a convincing victory (3-0). Messi scored twice, while the opponent didn’t manage a single shot on target. A dominant performance, although the second game of the cycle was lost to Ecuador (0-1). The difference is significant, but it’s important to note that there was squad rotation.

Venezuela Team Overview
The national team finished eighth in the cycle and was one of the few that didn't qualify for anything. Just a reminder, there are currently 10 teams in South America, with six earning direct spots to the World Cup. However, Venezuela couldn't withstand the competition, often displaying notably weak football. The team has a frail defense, ranking second to last (conceding 28 goals).
Venezuela have recorded two wins and five losses this year. To put it mildly, the team hasn't been shining. Numerous mistakes often overshadow their attacking efforts. Their last match ended in a defeat to Colombia (3-6), and they failed to score in the two games prior. So, the outcome seems justified.

Editorial Prediction
Let's focus on the option of Argentina's individual total goals over 1.5. This bet will be our primary choice, offering minimal risk. Argentina, regardless of their lineup, are capable of scoring two goals against Venezuela. However, there's another option to consider. In September, Messi and his team easily overcame this opponent, who struggle significantly with scoring consistency. Venezuela's inability to score regularly is their main issue, and it's unlikely much has changed in a month. As a backup choice, we suggest betting on an Argentina win with a -1 handicap. A possible scoreline could be 2-0.No comments
