Brazil vs Venezuela Prediction & Betting tips
The last three Copa America tournaments have been more than disappointing for Brazil. 2011 and 2015 were already in the quarter-finals. In 2016 at the anniversary edition, the Selecao flew out even in the preliminary round. The hope of the five-time world champion is now in the home tournament. In their own country after 2007 finally be triumphed again in the Copa.
The first appearance makes at least once hope that you can connect the Selecao in the next games with spectacle. After the opening victory over Bolivia is now the match against Venezuela on the program. Probably a point would be enough to move into the second round, but with a win the hosts would be safe through.
That alone is not the claim of Tite and his team. The group victory should be it already, if possible retracted with the highest sovereignty. After the first matchday, Brazil leads the ranking with three points. Venezuela and Peru follow with a counter. Bolivia is expected to be at the bottom of the ranking. Basically, the Selecao should be a little under-challenged in front of their own audience with the opponents in the first round. So, on this second match day between Brazil and Venezuela, we would be predicting another home win.
For the Vinotintos, this encounter is basically a bonus game. If you want to reach the quarter-finals, you definitely have to prevail against Bolivia on the final day of the match. After the point against Peru, this should already be enough to qualify for the next round. At best, one fights for a counter against the Selecao and second place would probably be very possible.
Although the Venezuelans have performed well recently, we would only hint at a victory for Selecao in the match between Brazil and Venezuela. The hosts are still not meeting the calibers who can really make their lives difficult. The match-up for the Copa America 2019 group match between Brazil and Venezuela in Salvador’s Arena Fonte Nova will take place during the night from Tuesday to Wednesday at 1:30 (CET).
Brazil:
Brazil is considered a major tournament favorite at Copa America 2019, even without the injured superstar Neymar. For this, Coach Tite has been able to nominate numerous high-profile players from the best clubs in Europe. No less than the first triumph since 2007 is the goal. After the gold medal at the Rio Olympics, a victory at home-Copa could perhaps end the trauma of the 2014 World Cup or at least alleviate the pain further.
The Selecao is definitely on the right track. Since the World Cup in Russia, there was no more defeat. Since then, there have been ten wins and a draw in eleven games. So the Selecao is absolutely on course. Therefore, there is basically no alternative but to use the odds in the game between Brazil and Venezuela for a success of Selecao, in whatever form. The early entry into the quarter-finals and perhaps also the group victory are the milestones that have been set for this second group match at the Copa.
The opening game against Bolivia has been promising, although we can not overstate the Bolivian 3-0 victory. Brazil dominated this duel but in principle at will. Bolivia was still well served with only three goals conceded. Philippe Coutinho brought the Selecao by a double 2-0 forward. Everton from Gremio scored the 3-0 final score. Now it continues against Venezuela and before this match there are some staff worries again. But first of all, it is positive that Arthur has completely re-entered the team training and will probably be in the starting lineup for Fernandinho.
But Eder Militao had to step down just as quickly as substitute keeper Ederson. For both of them, it is probably not enough until the match against Venezuela. In fact, many well-known actors such as Danilo, Marcelo, Douglas Costa, Fabinho or even Neymar are missing. Nevertheless, there is no big feather reading. Captain Dani Alves makes it clear that injuries are part of football, and yet all Brazilians, especially the Copa, will do anything to make the nation happy.
Venezuela:
Without question – the young team from Venezuela has a future. Some players, who were in the final two years ago at the U20 World Cup, are already an integral part of the senior team. In part, the talents have already matured into service providers. This applies, for example, keeper Wuilker Farinez or strategist Yangel Herrera. Add to that Tomas Rincon or Jose Salomon Rondon and experienced stars, so that the Vinotintos are now a very serious opponent.
The political affairs in the home do not leave the team completely cold, but these are apparently sent skilfully into the background. If we exclude the match against a Catalan selection, in which Venezuela has not nominated the best staff, there is only one defeat in the last eight internationals. Among other things, the team of Rafael Dudamel also prevailed against Argentina. Nevertheless, we can say that in the match between Brazil and Venezuela, only a forecast for a Selecao victory would be reasonable.
The inauguration of the Copa America went well for Venezuela. Against Peru, after all World Cup participants in Russia last year, they got at least one point at 0: 0. It was keeper Wuilker Farinez who scored an outstanding match. However, the Vinotintos also had their chances and it would come as no surprise if the Venezuelans had won this game.
However, a quarter of an hour before the end, they had to accept a draw, as left-back Luis Mago saw the traffic light card after repeated foul play. After this dismissal he will now have to watch against the Brazilians. Nevertheless, coach Rafael Dudamel is looking forward to meeting the hosts. He now sees his team in a position to make life difficult even for tournament favorites. However, everything has to fit. Otherwise, it is for the young team of Vinotintos again a game in which you can gain experience.
