Venezuela vs Argentina Prediction & Betting tips
In the quarterfinals of the Copa America, Venezuela will compete against Argentina from Lionel Messi on Friday evening. Argentina is of course a favorite, but the blue and white were not able to convince this tournament for a single moment. Venezuela, on the other hand, is full of confidence.
Venezuela:
Although Venezuelan football is still in its infancy, but prior to this Copa America I already had the feeling that the country might start to surprise. The team of national team coach Rafael Dudamel did not disappoint and managed to place himself in a group with Brazil, Peru and Bolivia thanks to two draws and a victory for the quarterfinals. So for La Vinotinto, the Copa America is already a big success, but midfielder Jefferson Savarino would like to hook a big fish: “Argentina really isn’t unbeatable. We’re going full for the win. ”
Venezuela is not the most appealing football country in South America, but the team is certainly well put together. The red shirts are defensive as a house, witness the fact that they managed to keep their goal clean against both Peru and Brazil. The young goalkeeper Wuilker Farinez is already one of the tastemakers of the tournament. In the case of a loss of ball, everyone goes back, so that the opponent hardly gets any room. As soon as the country catches the ball again, it is dangerous to switch over. On the wings it has a few quick players, and in the point of the attack Salomon Rondon always makes a threat.
Argentina:
As always, Argentina is this Copa America again among the title favorites, but the two-time world champion doesn’t bake this tournament much yet. After the 0-2 defeat against Colombia in the opening match and the 1-1 draw in the subsequent match against Paraguay, it came to the very last group match against Qatar to force a place in the quarterfinals. Thanks to goals from Lautaro Martinez and Sergio Agüero, the Argentines booked a crucial 0-2 victory, and the fans were able to breathe with relief.
Argentina crawled through the eye of the needle in the group phase. National coach Lionel Scaloni is still searching for his ideal basic eleven. It is obvious to keep the team from the match against Qatar intact, but La Albiceleste has long since lost its logical thinking. The team is a big mess. The attack game is syrupy and predictable, while the defense regularly drops. As is often the case in the past, Argentina relies almost entirely on the promptings of Lionel Messi, but even the very best football player in the world cannot do it on his own. You should never flatten a team with Messi in the ranks for a tournament win, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the Argentines soon find their Waterloo.
