Chile vs Venezuela: Crucial World Cup Qualifier Match Preview and How to Watch

The highly anticipated World Cup Qualification match between Chile and Venezuela is set to take place on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Pradanos in Nunoa, Chile. The match kicks off at 7:00 p.m. ET / 4:00 p.m. PT, and it is a critical fixture in the CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers for both teams.

Chile, currently ranked 10th in the qualification standings, is struggling with a dismal campaign, having secured only one win, three draws, and seven losses, which amounts to just six points from their 11 matches. Their recent form has been particularly disappointing, with a goalless draw against Peru in their last match. The team’s lackluster attack, which has produced only five goals so far, poses a significant challenge. Key players such as Eduardo Vargas and Arturo Vidal will be crucial in Chile’s bid to turn their campaign around.

Venezuela, on the other hand, is in a more favorable position, sitting seventh with 12 points from their 11 games. They are coming off a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Brazil, despite being reduced to 10 men during the match. This result highlights their resilience and determination. Salomon Rondón, Venezuela’s all-time top scorer with 45 goals, will lead the attack, while Yangel Herrera‘s injury will see Cristian Casseres step into the lineup.

The match will be broadcast exclusively on Fanatiz via pay-per-view, and fans can also live stream the game through various betting partners and links provided on Sofascore.

In terms of team news, Chile has no significant injury concerns, while Venezuela will be without Yangel Herrera due to injury and Alexander Gonzalez due to a red card suspension. The predicted lineups include key players such as Eduardo Vargas and Arturo Vidal for Chile, and Salomon Rondón for Venezuela.

Predictions for the match are mixed, with some analysts suggesting that Chile’s home advantage could give them an edge, while others believe Venezuela’s recent form and resilience make them a formidable opponent. A draw is also a plausible outcome given the current form of both teams.
