Venezuela against Argentina Tipp & Quoten, 03.09.2021 – 02:00 Uhr – World Cup qualification South America
After four previously lost finals, Argentina finally defeated Brazilian rivals 1-0 in the final of the Copa America, and Superstar Messi, aged 34, also won his first title with the national team. But now it is time to focus again on the World Cup qualification. Venezuela is on the agenda for the upcoming matchday. The tournament will take place on Friday, 3 September at 02:00 at the Estadio General José Antonio Anzoátegui in the Venezuelan city of Puerto La Cruz. All the odds are in favour of a threesome of Messi and Co. Whether a favorite tip makes sense, it is necessary to find out in the following bet forecast.

Venezuela had to prove its skills on the last qualifying day against Uruguay. Not an easy task. As far as the odds were paid attention, it was clear that the hosts were acting as underdogs. Nevertheless, the home team played along cheerfully in the first round and had plenty of opportunities to score. Both teams met more or less on an equal footing. But there were still no hits. This should not change even after the page change. Both Venezuela and Uruguay had chances, but failed to exploit them and so it remained in the end with a not entirely unjust split in points.
In general, the performances so far have been anything but overwhelming in the World Cup qualification. Only one win is available after six qualifying matches. This threesome, which came into being after a 2-1 draw with Chile, is matched on the other side by four defeats and a draw. Coach Leonardo Gonzalez scored four points to finish ninth in the standings. The offensive scored three goals and the defence was conceded nine goals on the other side. However, the odds show that Venezuela is being treated as a blatant underdog in terms of qualifying for the 2022 World Cup.
Finally, Venezuela had to prove its skills at the Copa America. There, the eleven struggled very hard and took only two lean counters out of four preliminary rounds. This yield put the Venezuelans in last place and led to their exit from the competition.

There is no question that the Argentines will solve the ticket for the final round of the World Cup. Basically, it only needs to be clarified in which place Messi and Co. land. On the last qualifying day, the Gauchos faced Colombia and got off to a brilliant start. Only three minutes had passed when Romero scored 1-0. A further five turns later, Paredes was on hand and was able to secure a 2-0 lead. Rather, it did not happen in the first pass. After the change of sides, the Colombians became stronger and shortened the point by Luis Muriel. In the following years, an open exchange of blows developed between the two teams. This led to a 2-2 equaliser in the final phase of the set-up. In any case, a bitter draw from the point of view of the “Albiceleste”.
In the course of the World Championship Quali only one of the last four duels could be won. This threesome came after a 2-0 win against Peru. With a record of three wins and three draws, the team of coach Lionel Scaloni ranks second in the league table. The gap to the leader from Brazil is six points. However, the group win is not absolutely necessary, as the top four teams qualify directly for the final round of the 2022 World Cup. The offensive looks at nine goals and the defense were given five goals conceded. Messi, Martinez and Gonzalez are the best attackers in their own ranks with two goals each.
As already mentioned at the beginning, Argentina last played very successfully in the course of the Copa America and secured the long-awaited title after four defeats in the finals. Whether this will also succeed at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar is quite a different matter.

Anything but a victory for the “Gauchos” would be a bitter surprise. The odds clearly show the guests from Argentina in the favourites role. But is a favorite tip also justified? Four out of six duels in Venezuela have made the “Albiceleste” victorious. In addition, a defeat and a draw were added. In the course of our World Cup betting forecast, the guests are to be regarded as stronger. For this reason, a win bet on Messi and Co. is quite suitable.
