Brazil come into this game following a 4-0 WC Qualifiers - South America win to beat Peru in their previous game.

In that game, Brazil had 68% possession and 18 attempts at goal with 8 of them on target. For Brazil, the goalscorers were Raphinha (38', 54'), Andreas Pereira (71') and Luiz Henrique (74'). For their opponents, Peru got 3 shots on goal with 2 on target.

A sequence of outstanding performances from the Brazil defenders has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 3 from their previous 6 outings in total. During the same time, their own attack force has managed to score 8. That kind of trend isn’t assured to follow through here, though.

🧠 Prediction

Our assessment is that Venezuela are capable enough to breach the defence of this Brazil side, although one goal may not quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’re going for a 1-2 winning margin for Brazil when the referee blows the final whistle. Could easily go either way, this.
