It has hardly been a perfect qualifying campaign in the South America region to this point for Brazil, but things have started to look up after winning two on the bounce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The five-time world champions still only sit fourth in the overall standings, having lost four of their ten matches so far in qualifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But Brazil will be a heavy favorite to maintain its recent run of form against a Venezuelan side that has won just twice in ten qualifying matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, a recent draw against Argentina could mean that Brazil will need to be at their very best on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brazil will be heavily favored on the moneyline to claim victory on Thursday. A home win for Venezuela is priced up at +535. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Brazil will be hard to overlook this week, having avoided defeat in each of their last eleven against Venezuela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The five-time world champions have won three of their last four. However, it could be worth noting that the most recent clash saw a 1-1 draw played out in October 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udea8\u26bd TIP:<\/strong> Over 2.5 Goals @ +105<\/p>\n\n\n\n Venezuela have named a mix of youth and experience in their squad for the upcoming qualifiers. Bryant Ortega and Renne Rivas could both make their international debuts against Brazil after impressing in the Saudi Pro League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kervin Andrade is considered to be one of the brightest young players, and has impressed in Brazil\u2019s domestic league with Fortaleza.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMatch Result<\/th> Odds<\/th><\/tr><\/thead> Venezuela<\/td> +535<\/td><\/tr> Draw<\/td> +295<\/td><\/tr> Brazil<\/td> -178<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n Brazil Unbeaten in Eleven Against Venezuela<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
