Argentina will face Venezuela in the 2022 CONMEBOL Pre World Cup Zone. The match between the two teams will take place at the Estadio Polideportivo, Friday (3/9) morning WIB.
Argentina will return to competition after winning the 2021 Copa America. On the other hand, Venezuela was unable to do much in the event after failing to qualify for the group phase.
Argentina is currently sitting in second place in the 2022 World Cup qualifying standings with a collection of 12 points from 6 matches.
They are six points behind Brazil at the top. Meanwhile, Venezuela fills 9th place with 4 points.
Despite playing as a guest team, Argentina is more favored to win. They will feature a number of star players, including the captain Lionel Messi.
Argentina have also managed to win twice, lose one and draw the other two in the last five meetings against Venezuela. Most recently, the two teams met in 2019, La Albiceleste won two goals without reply through Lautaro Martinez and Giovani Lo Celso.
However, Venezuela cannot be underestimated. They can be surprising because they play in front of their own supporters. So, who can win and get three points?
