Venezuela who are the only CONMEBOL nation to never qualify for the World Cup are all set to host Brazil who have featured in every edition of the competition.
Brazil will travel to Maturin to square up against Venezuela who are eighth in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers with just two wins to their name.
The hosts have failed to win their last five games and they will be looking to bring an end to their poor run when they square up against the Selecao who got things back on track with back-to-back wins during the last international break.
The visitors have won each of their last nine away games against Venezuela and given the kind of form they have been in; Dorival Junior’s men should not have a problem going past them.
One year after both sides clashed in Mato Grosso, Venezuela and Brazil meet again on the path to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
All 10 CONMEBOL teams competing for spots at the next World Cup are back in action during the November international break. Coming off two consecutive wins for the first time since Sept. 2023, the Seleção is looking to add another three points to its campaign against a Venezuela team that is winless in its last five matches.
Both teams are dealing with significant injuries, though, that could impact the final result. Yordan Osorio, Jhon Chancellor and Teo Quintero are all missing from La Vinotinto’s squad. Meanwhile, Dorival Júnior is without Neymar, Alisson, Rodrygo, Éder Militão and Bremer.
Still, with players like Vinícius Júnior and Salomón Rondón on the pitch, the match promises goalscoring action fans will not want to miss.
