Peru vs Venezuela Predictions and Betting Tips
CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying's bottom teams Peru and Venezuela go at each other on Monday with both sides keen on reversing their fortunes. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
Peru head into this game unbeaten in five games against their opponents. They most recently went head-to-head in the Copa America- Peru winning via a solitary goal.
Massive six-pointer this coming Monday
Although Peru is quite close to the foot of the World Cup qualifiers standings, they head into this game in decent form. A semifinal run in the Copa America followed by a hard-earned point in their most recent against a team like Uruguay only means that they're a side on the ascension. Renato Tapia has initially put his team ahead against the Uruguayans who immediately replied with a goal of their own. No goals went in from then on as both teams settle for a point- a huge one for the Peruvians. Heading into this game, there isn't much room for error given that Peru has only managed just five points from a possible 21 in this World Cup Qualifiers.
Venezuela, unlike their opponents, are struggling for form as they head into this game at the bottom of the standings. Following a dismal Copa America showing in which they finished at the bottom of Group A, they continued their qualifiers campaign against the South America champions. Leo Messi and Co. didn't have any issues dealing with their opponents as the Albiceleste picked up maximum pints via a 3-1 victory, stretching Venezuela's winless run to seven games.
