The Venezuela national team will face the Paraguay national team in 2e ronde of the CONMEBOL 2026 World Cup Qualification on Tuesday, September 12, 2023. Live streaming of Venezuela vs Paraguay, preview, lineup predictions, and how to watch the match live broadcast, can be watched in this article.
Venezuela will look to claim their first win in CONMEBOL 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying when they host Paraguay at the Estadio Monumental de Maturín on Tuesday.
The home team is aiming for a maiden World Cup appearance but started their qualifying campaign poorly. They lost 1-0 to Colombia in their previous match and could not complain much about the result after not being able to get a single shot on target throughout the match.
Venezuela is seventh with zero points and will be looking to bounce back from the defeat. They have some quality players like Salomón Rondón, Yangel Herrera, and Wuilker Faríñez who can make a difference on the pitch.
Paraguay, meanwhile, endured a poor World Cup qualifying campaign last year and will be hoping they can have better luck this time around. They were held to a goalless draw by Peru who played with 10 men in their first group game and perhaps deserved more from that game after hitting the woodwork four times.
The visitors are one place and one point above their opponents in midweek and will look to widen that gap this Tuesday. They have several experienced players such as Miguel Almirón, Gustavo Gómez, and Ángel Romero who can provide a threat to the Venezuelan defense.
Regarding head-to-head, Venezuela and Paraguay have met 28 times. The home team has only won five times while the visiting team has won 19 times. There have been four draws between the two teams. The last meeting between the two teams was in a World Cup qualifying match in September 2021 which Paraguay won 2-1. Paraguay’s goals were scored by Óscar Romero and Miguel Almirón, while Venezuela’s goal was scored by Yeferson Soteldo.
The visitors have won their last two matches in this fixture and lost only one of the last five. The home team has scored at least one goal in their last eight matches in all competitions.
Currently, Paraguay are ranked 49th in the latest FIFA rankings and are now eight places above their midweek opponents. Venezuela is ranked 57th and will try to improve their position by gaining full points.
In the condition of trying to avenge their defeat to Colombia by showing a better performance in front of their own supporters, Venezuela will field all their best players who can create opportunities and score goals. On the other hand, Paraguay will look for their first win in this qualifier by relying on their collective strength. They have several players who can control the game and provide good passes for their attackers, but they also need to be more efficient in taking advantage of the opportunities that arise.
