South American qualifier keywords, Venezuela vs. Bolivia, win the game and take the initiative in the playoffs

11:19pm, 6 June 2025【Football】

The two teams are currently ranked 7th and 8th in the South American qualifiers standings. Judging from the current points situation, the positions of the top 6 are basically unshakable, and the remaining last playoff quota will likely be generated between the two teams. So the importance of this game is self-evident.

In terms of team strength, Venezuela is undoubtedly much higher than the visiting team Bolivia. Most of the players in the team play in local South American leagues, but they are also effective at the top of the top five European leagues. Among them, it is effective in Real Sociedad Alambru and Girona's Herrera. The most respected player in the team is 35-year-old veteran Longdong. Although he has returned from the European arena to the Mexican Super League, he scored a total of 15 goals for the team in the 29 starts in the 24-25 season, which is still very efficient.

It is basically difficult to see particularly outstanding players in the Bolivia team. The total value of global players is only less than one-fifth of that of Venezuela. It can be said that Bolivia is a perfect underdog in South American football. And the advantage that this team relies most is undoubtedly the home court of the plateau. Since the World Cup qualifiers, Peru has won a total of 4 victories, three of which were won at home. And the away record is only 1 win and 6 losses. Of course, this feature can be said to be common in South American teams. This will also have a significant impact on the distribution of market popularity in this market.

Although Venezuela's recent performance has also been very sluggish, he has lost 9 consecutive rounds, and it was not until the last round that he defeated Peru 1-0 at home. In the first leg of the two teams, they also lost 0-4 away from the opponent. But even so, with such extreme performance at home and away, Venezuela will still be sought after by the market in this game. The reason is, in addition to home and away factors, the performance of the match is also a boosting factor. In terms of data, the initial main goal of this game was given a low penalty of 1 goal, which is already the highest standard in the performance of the two teams. At present, it has been raised to 1.25, and the compensation is equal. With the home team recovering and the top four teams in the standings have not suffered any losses, the away team's weak away ability is completely unable to shake investors' confidence in the home team. Therefore, the data increase will inevitably push the home team's popularity further.

So in this game, the away team will not lose a crushing defeat, with a small loss of one goal at most.
