Venezuela take on the visitors Chile in the round 4 match of South American qualification to the World Cup 2026. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 18th at Estadio Monumental de Maturín (Maturín).
Venezuela - not the team that is expected to deliver something remarkable. "La Vinotinto" doesn't make a great impression in terms of football. They've never achieved anything substantial. Their best was a one-time fourth place at the Copa America. They've never qualified for the World Cup. Moreover, in the previous cycle, Solomon Rondon and company finished last, with a significant gap. In the new qualification, the underdogs began as expected with a loss in Colombia. However, they lost 0-1, and in the second match, they managed to defeat Paraguay at home, thanks to a penalty goal in added time. No one really expected them to earn a point against Brazil, especially away. But they equalized in the late stage and held on for a 1-1 draw.

Chile was one of the best national teams in the middle of the last decade, as evidenced by a couple of consecutive victories in 2015 and 2016 at the Copa America. However, Alexis Sanchez and his team have missed out on two consecutive World Cups. They did appear in Russian stadiums, but only in the Confederations Cup format. In the previous qualification cycle, they managed to secure only 19 points in 18 matches. In the new cycle, Eduardo Berizzo's team started no better. They lost to Uruguay 1-3 away without any options, then managed to secure only a goalless draw at home against Colombia. However, against Peru, although they had to struggle initially, they eventually won 2-0.
In the previous qualification cycle, Peru and Venezuela exchanged victories on their respective home turfs. It's hard to believe in a second consecutive success for the Peruvians. We predict that the visitors will win with a "zero" handicap.
Prediction for the match: Chile to win with 0.0 handicap.
