Brazil vs Venezuela Predictions
- Brazil have won their last ten competitive (non-friendly) internationals.
- Brazil have not lost on home soil since the 2014 World Cup Third place play-off.
- Under 2.5 goals have been scored in eight of the last eleven Venezuela matches.
Seleção should make solid start to title defence
Brazil kick off the Copa America on home soil this Sunday against Group B rivals Venezuela.
Tite’s team continued their marvellous World Cup qualifying campaign with fourth and fifth straight wins over Ecuador and Paraguay respectively, but seemingly kept something in reserve.
Brazil never really pressed the accelerator pedal in notching up routine 2-0 wins over two of the three worst teams in South America – according to their Fifa ranking.
Venezuela are hardly a step up from that level – they lack quality but they are well-organised and can frustrate the hosts for large periods.
La Vinotinto have troubled Brazil in their backyard before – being the only opponent to avoid defeat against Tite’s men in this tournament two years ago.
Seleção were booed off after that 0-0 draw, although they did have three goals ruled out – including a potential late winner by VAR.
The hosts’ impeccable record in non-friendly matches make them an obvious selection and, in a bid to extract some more profit, we’ll also take them to win with Under 2.5 goals in the game.
Five of the last seven head-to-head meetings have featured fewer than three goals.
And with Brazil and Unders having been a winning bet in their last four matches, including a home qualifier with this opponent, that looks like compelling evidence to us.
Three of Brazil’s last four wins have been by the 2-0 scoreline and we can’t see any reason for them to buck that trend now.
