Big Three Points for the Hosts

Uruguay find themselves in fifth position in the current table, collecting 21 points from 15 games. Argentina have qualified, and Ecuador and Paraguay look nailed on, leaving just three automatic places left.

The Uruguayans suffered a disappointing defeat last time out, losing to Paraguay in Asuncion. Their form has slumped over the past year, winning just one of the last 12 in all competitions. The Sky Blue will be desperate to get back to winning ways in this one.

Venezuela have kept their World Cup hopes alive with two vital victories in two. In March, Salomon Rondon scored the only goal in a 1-0 home win over Peru. They followed that up with a 2-0 triumph against Bolivia last week, with Rondon on the scoresheet again.

The Venezuelans hold seventh, which would be enough to secure an inter-confederation play-off place. However, Fernando Batista’s boys are aiming for a top-six spot and automatic qualification to next year’s World Cup. A win here would put them level on points with Uruguay, with two qualifiers to play.

Uruguay vs Venezuela Betting Odds

Uruguay may be in poor form, but Marcelo Bielsa’s boys are fancied to win this one. You can get 1.48 for the home victory, while the draw is priced at 3.95. Venezuela will want to keep the momentum going, but Red-Wine are the underdogs at 7.80.

Uruguay Win – 1.48

Draw – 3.95
