Why you should back Venezuela
The Venezuelans have a prolific goalscorer in Salomon Rondon. The 34-year-old Rondon, who plays for Pachuca in Liga MX, has scored 195 goals over 573 appearances over his 18-year senior career. He also has scored 43 goals over 107 appearances for Venezuela. So far in Copa America, he has scored twice, which is tied for second behind only Lautaro Martinez of Argentina.
Venezuela will face a Canada team that will be without one of its top players in Tajon Buchanan. The 25-year-old Buchanan broke his tibia during training on Tuesday, an injury that will require surgery. The loss of Buchanan is significant as he started Canada’s opening match against Argentina and came off the bench in the last two matches. See which team to pick here.
Why you should back Canada
The Canadians have a capable goalkeeper in Maxime Crepeau. The 30-year-old Crepeau, who plays for the Portland Timbers of MLS, was the goalkeeper for LAFC during its 2022 MLS Cup-winning season. After the 2022 World Cup he overtook Milan Borjan, the most capped keeper in team history with 80 appearances, as Canada’s No. 1 keeper. And so far at Copa America, he has been solid, leading all keepers in saves (16).
In addition, the Canadians have a proven goalscorer in Jonathan David. The 24-year-old David, who plays for Lille in Ligue 1, has 27 goals (in 51 caps) for Canada, which ranks second all-time. In last week’s win over Peru, David scored in the 74th minute, giving the Canadians a 1-0 victory. See which team to pick here.
