Venezuela eye a big win over bottom-placed Chile.
Matchweek 12 group fixtures of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers takes us to the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos in Chile where the hosts are scheduled to lock horns against Venezuela.
Chile is enduring a disastrous campaign in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers, with just one win, three draws, and seven losses, leaving them with a mere 6 points. The 2016 Copa America champions are on the verge of a humiliating exit, as their most recent match ended in a goalless draw against Peru. With their qualification hopes dwindling, they face an uphill battle to salvage their campaign.
Venezuela’s journey in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers have been characterized by inconsistency, securing 2 wins and 6 draws from their 8 matches, leaving them with 12 points. Their recent 1-1 draw against Brazil stands out as a testament to their resilience, especially considering they were reduced to 10 men during the match.
Despite the numerical disadvantage, Venezuela held their ground and earned a valuable point against one of South America’s powerhouses, highlighting their determination and potential as they aim to stay in contention for a qualification spot.
