LiontipsChile vs Venezuela. Prediction (odds 2.33) and bets on the World Cup qualifying match
Command Analysis
Current form
Chile is failing the World Cup qualifying tournament. Ricardo Gareca team has only six points in 11 rounds and is at the bottom of the standings. Their only victory was last year on their home field against Peru (2:0). In the last round, they met this opponent away again, and it all ended with a score of 0:0. The Chileans are playing very poorly in defense, as they have already conceded 18 goals, only Bolivia has conceded more in the current tournament. The reasons for their failures are largely due to the fact that there is a generational change in the team, but this process has clearly been delayed.
Disqualifications and injuries
Loyola will not play today as it will be serving a suspension.

- In 11 matches played in the qualifying tournament, the Chilean team scored only five goals
Estimated lineup: Cortes - Hormasabal, Maripan, Diaz, Suazo - Cabral, Vidal, Echeverria, Valdes - Vargas, Aravena.
Current form
The Venezuelan national team players are clearly approaching the upcoming match in high spirits, as they managed to take points from Brazil the day before (1:1). With 12 points, the team is in seventh place in the table, ahead of Bolivia only by additional indicators, while they are four points behind Ecuador and Paraguay. Fernando Batista charges are not doing well in away matches - only two points scored in five matches played. At the same time, the team is distinguished by its stubbornness and always fights to the end, which could be seen in the game with Brazil.

5.40Tip and bets
Bookmakers are leading the Chileans as the favorites, but the team has not impressed at all during the tournament and is in last place in the table. There is no progress in the hosts' game. Venezuela is aiming for a ticket to the World Cup, every point is worth its weight in gold for the team now. The footballers will obviously play today on a decent emotional upswing after a successful game with Brazil. We think that the Venezuelans can count on at least one point.
Our prediction is Venezuela will not lose at odds of 1.67
Bet on total
The Venezuelan team plays quite an open football, not afraid to take risks. This style of play often leads to an exchange of goals. The bet on both teams to score played in the three previous matches of the guests, which is what we expect today.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 2.33
Bet on the first half
Note that three of the four previous matches of the Chilean national team ended in a draw in the first half. We believe that all the main events on the field in this game will unfold after the break.
