Venezuela vs Canada Preview & Picks

Venezuela are tipped to continue their impressive Copa America run.

The Venezuelans have been in good form and can take advantage of Canada's struggles in front of goal.

  • Venezuela have won their last 3 games
  • Venezuela are unbeaten in their last 8 competitive games
  • Canada have failed to win 10 of their last 14 games
  • Canada have lost 4 of their last 9 games

Head To Head

  • Neither team has register a victory in 2 previous meetings
  • The two teams drew 1-1 when they last met in May 2010

Venezuela Form

Venezuela emphatically clinched their spot as Group B winners in the Copa America, with a commanding 3-0 win against Jamaica last weekend securing their place in the quarter-finals.

La Vintotinto's impressive form at this competition should come as little surprise.

Venezuela are unbeaten in 18 of their last 22 matches (W12, D6, L4) since March 2022.

Fernando Batista's side are now bidding to become the first Venezuelan team to reach the semi-finals of the Copa America since 2011.

This would also mark only the second time they have achieved this feat in 20 appearances at this competition.

Canada Form

In their Copa America debut, Canada defied expectations to secure a place in the quarter-finals with a goalless draw against Chile in their final group stage match.

A crucial victory against Peru on matchday two left Jesse Marsch's side needing only a point, which they duly secured with a mature and disciplined performance against the Chileans.

Defensive solidity has proven the key to Canadian success, with clean sheets kept against Peru (2-0) and Chile (0-0) since their defeat against Argentina on matchday one.

The Reds have struggled in front of goal, though, scoring just one in five international matches under the recently appointed Marsch. 

Verdict

While it is sure to be a tight game, I fancy Venezuela to seal progression to the semi-finals of the Copa America.
