Venezuela hosts Colombia in round 18 of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Wednesday, March 30th at Estadio Cachamay (Ciudad Guayana)
It cannot be said that the national team of Venezuela has completely disappointed, as initially no one expected anything special from it. Yes, there are such strong players as Thomas Rincon and José Salomon Rondon. But the results are very bad, and not only in the current qualification. The Red Wine gained only two draws in four matches at the Copa America and did not progress from the group (although it would have been enough to finish higher than in fifth place). The performance in these World Cup qualifiers is also far from perfect: only three victories, ten points scored, and a deserved last place. Even another underdog, Bolivia, scored half as much. Yes, sometimes Venezuela manages to punish its opponents for underestimating, like in the home game against the Bolivians (4-1). But in March, the Red Wine could not oppose anything to Argentina, having conceded three unanswered goals.

The Colombian national team is clinging to its last chances. At the moment, the fate of the Coffee Growers depends on how the competitors will play in the parallel matches. Yes, Reinaldo Rueda’s men interrupted their two unpleasant streaks (goalless and winless) in the last round, hammering modest Bolivia. Liverpool's winter newcomer, Luis Diaz, scored a very important goal at the end of the first half. And closer to the final whistle, Borja and Uribe increased the lead. But that victory simply allowed the Colombians not to finish the fight ahead of schedule. They have 20 points, lagging one point behind Peru. Everything is clear: if the Incas win their match against Paraguay, any result in Venezuela will not matter. Be that as it may, James Rodriguez and the company need to win and look at the opponent’s results only after the final whistle.
Colombia has not lost in the last six head-to-head matches: three victories and three draws. The last two games ended in a 3-0 victory in the qualifiers and a goalless draw at last year's Copa America. Now bookmakers believe in stronger and more motivated visitors. And we recommend betting on the victory of Colombia.
Prediction for the match: Colombia to win
