USA Soccer Prediction
Venezuela Soccer Prediction
Venezuela begins its sporting year with a clear objective: improving its position in the South American World Cup Qualifiers standings. The team is currently outside the qualification zone for the next World Cup.
The squad list Argentine coach Fernando Batista announced also lacks several key names. Players like Yeferson Soteldo, Salomón Rondón and Eduard Bello were left out. Like Pochettino, Batista has opted to call up many players who primarily feature in the local league.
Some of the most notable players on the list are veteran goalkeeper Wuilker Faríñez and defender Ronald Hernández from Atlanta United.
Forward Jan Hurtado, a 24-year-old who rose to prominence in Argentine football in 2019, returns to the national team after a four-year absence. He is currently playing, with limited success, in Brazil's Second Division.
Venezuela’s last five official matches ended with negative results: two losses and three draws.
USA vs. Venezuela Prediction
The friendly between the USA and Venezuela is shaping up to be a closely contested match. Both teams will be without key players, with Venezuela hoping to turn around its recent poor form, while the USA will rely on MLS-based talents like Luna and Cremaschi.
Expect both teams to push forward, leading to an open game with scoring opportunities on both sides.
USA vs Venezuela Pick: Over 2.5 goals + Both Teams to Score
