Venezuela: Win or Draw

@ Colombia: Win

 

Current odds:

Venezuela: Win or Draw: (+175)

Colombia: Win: (-250)

 

• Chasing their third successive FIFA World Cup qualification (WCQ), Colombia have historically started their qualifiers positively, avoiding defeat in 12 of their last 13 opening campaign games (W6, D6, L1). Eight of those 13 matches saw Colombia secure a clean sheet, whilst ten produced under 2.5 match goals. Notably, four of the seven win/loss results came via a one-goal margin, whilst five of the six Colombia wins were ‘to nil’.

• The only CONMEBOL side to have never qualified for a World Cup, Venezuela have never started their qualifying campaign with a win (D2, L11) losing their last ten opening WCQ games! Furthermore, Venezuela failed to score in nine of those ten, whilst losing four by a 2-0 scoreline. That said, the visitors have avoided defeat in six of their last eight WCQs (W2, D4, L2) and scored first in four of those games, albeit they dropped points twice (W2, D2).
