Venezuela exceeded expectation in Copa America this summer, finishing second in the group after beating Jamaica, 1-0, Uruguay, 1-0 and drawing with Mexico, 1-1. However, they team had nothing to offer to the finalists Argentina, losing the quarterfinal 1-4. At the same time, the team show disappointing results in qualifying campaign for the World Cup in Russia, sitting on the last 10th place with 1 points and 7-17 overall goal difference.
Venezuela won four out of their last six head-to=heads with Colombia, losing only one of these matches. However, this record doesn’t really show disposition as Colombia re more skilled and experienced side. We should expect the hosts to turn things around and improve the record of matches with Venezuela.
Prediction for the match: Colombia to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
