Venezuela take on Canada in quarterfinal match of CONMEBOL Copa America 2024. The match will be played on Saturday, July 6th at AT&T Stadium (Arlington, TX).
The Venezuela national team unexpectedly had an excellent group stage, winning matches against Ecuador, Mexico, and Jamaica with a combined score of 6-1. Advanced statistics indicate that the Venezuelan team should have conceded 4.5 goals, but they only let in 1. Much of the credit goes to 34-year-old goalkeeper Romo, who made 11 saves in the three group stage matches. In the Copa quarterfinals, Venezuela will face Canada, which has scored only 1 goal in three games at the tournament. The defense and goalkeeper of the Venezuelan team are clearly on a roll, so Venezuela is unlikely to concede much again. However, they are also unlikely to showcase their full attacking potential—so far, only the star-studded and very powerful Argentina has managed to breach Canada's defense in this tournament. It's quite possible that we are in for a rather uneventful match.

The Canadian team lost to Argentina in the group stage, but managed to secure 4 points in matches against Peru and Chile, which was enough to advance to the playoffs. The "Maple Leafs" faced significant problems with their attack: in the match against Peru, they played with a numerical advantage from the 59th minute, but their only goal came in the 74th minute. Chile was reduced to ten men against Canada as early as the 27th minute, yet Canada couldn't score. So far in this tournament, the average number of goals in matches involving the Canadian team is one, so we shouldn’t expect a goal-fest in this quarterfinal.
Canada showed very modest attacking play in the group stage, scoring just 1 goal, and that was with a numerical advantage. Venezuela, as shown in the group stage, is in top form, making it likely difficult for Canada’s attack once again. I am almost certain that we are in for a tight match with fewer than three goals being scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
