Venezuela Team Analysis

Home teamAway teamResult
ParaguayVenezuela2-1 (Loss)
VenezuelaArgentina1-1 (Draw)
VenezuelaUruguay0-0 (Draw)
BoliviaVenezuela4-0 (Loss)
VenezuelaCanada1-1 (Draw) (3-4 loss on penalties)

Despite being winless in their last six matches, they showed resilience by managing a draw against Argentina. However, a crushing 4-0 defeat to Bolivia and a draw via penalties with Canada indicate their struggles in both defense and attack.

Venezuela Key Players

Venezuela’s key players for this crucial match against Brazil include their top scorer José Salomón Rondón, who has netted three goals in the qualifiers so far. Rondón will be vital in breaking through Brazil’s defense and will likely need support from creative midfielders like Yeferson Soteldo and Jefferson Savarino, both of whom are expected to play significant roles.

Expected lineup for Venezuela:

  • Goalkeeper: Rafael Romo
  • Defenders: Jon Aramburu, Nahuel Ferraresi, Ruben Ramirez, Miguel Navarro
  • Midfielders: Yangel Herrera, Jefferson Savarino, Yeferson Soteldo, Darwin Machis, Cristian Casseres Jr.
  • Forward: José Salomón Rondón

Watch out for individual battles such as Rondón against Brazil’s Marquinhos, which could be a determining factor in Venezuela’s ability to secure points from this match.

Venezuela Suspensions & Injuries

Venezuela is facing several injury concerns ahead of their match against Brazil, which may impact their performance. The team does not have any players suspended for this fixture, which is a relief for Coach Fernando Batista. Here is the list of injuries and expected returns:

PlayerInjuryExpected return
Teo QuinteroUnknownDoubtful
Diego LunaCruciate ligament injuryMid-July 2025
Samuel SosaAnkle injuryDoubtful
Yordan OsorioPhysical discomfortA few weeks

With crucial players like Diego Luna and Yordan Osorio sidelined, Venezuela’s defense may be particularly vulnerable. The absence of key midfielders and forwards may also limit their creative and attacking options against a b Brazilian side.

Venezuela Tactics and Formation

Venezuela Tactical Breakdown:

  • Formation: 4-2-3-1
  • Key Forward: José Salomón Rondón
  • Midfield Trio: Yangel Herrera, Jefferson Savarino, Darwin Machís
  • Defensive Structure: One clean sheet in the last five games.
  • Notable Strategy: Focus on defensive organization and counter-attacks.

Venezuela has been deploying a 4-2-3-1 formation recently, with Rondón leading the attack. The midfield is anchored by Yangel Herrera, who offers defensive stability, alongside creative outlets like Savarino and Machís. However, their defense, having conceded most goals within the 46-60 minute interval, can be a point of vulnerability. The team will likely emphasize a compact defensive shape, looking to exploit Brazil’s potential weaknesses on the counter-attack.

Brazil’s recent performance is impressive, and with star players like Rodrygo, they are always a formidable opponent. Despite some injury concerns, they remain the bookmakers’ favorites for this clash against Venezuela.

Brazil Key Players

Brazil’s squad is loaded with talent, even with a couple of key players sidelined due to injuries. Expected lineup for Brazil:

  • Goalkeeper: Ederson Moraes
  • Defenders: Abner, Gabriel, Marquinhos, Vanderson
  • Midfielders: Savinho, Raphinha, Rodrygo, Gerson, Bruno Guimaraes
  • Attackers: Igor Jesus

Rodrygo, Brazil’s top scorer with three goals, will be crucial given his pace and skill. He could be pivotal in breaking down Venezuela’s defense. In midfield, Bruno Guimaraes and Gerson will look to control the tempo and provide creativity.

Fans should look out for the battle between Rodrygo and Venezuela’s defensive stalwart Nahuel Ferraresi, which could significantly influence the match’s outcome. Keep an eye also on Ederson, whose shot-stopping ability could thwart Venezuela’s scoring attempts.

Brazil Suspensions & Injuries

Brazil heads into this crucial World Cup qualification match with several key players sidelined due to injuries. This could impact their squad depth and tactical approach.

PlayerInjuryExpected return

RodrygoMuscle injuryEarly December 2024
Éder MilitãoCruciate ligament injuryOut for the season

The absence of these players, especially key figures like Richarlison, Rodrygo, and Alisson, might force Brazil to rely on their depth and bench strength.

Brazil will need to adjust their strategy, possibly focusing on a more defensive setup given their depleted attacking options. The return dates suggest they’ll miss crucial fixtures in November and December.

Brazil Tactics and Formation

Brazil’s Tactical Breakdown:

  • Formation: 4-2-3-1
  • Key Forward: Igor Jesus
  • Midfield Commanders: Bruno Guimarães and Gerson
  • Defensive Backbone: Marquinhos and Gabriel
  • Flexibility: The team can switch to a 4-3-3 if needed, bringing in an extra midfielder for enhanced control.

Brazil typically lines up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, leveraging their depth despite injury woes. This setup allows their midfield duo, Bruno Guimarães and Gerson, to handle both defensive and creative responsibilities.

With two clean sheets in their last five games, their defense, led by Marquinhos and Gabriel, remains solid. Up front, Igor Jesus spearheads the attack, supported by playmakers like Rodrygo and Raphinha.

Their strategy often involves leveraging their midfield strength to dominate possession and wear down opponents, especially targeting the 61-75-minute interval for high-intensity play. This allows them to adjust defensively or offensively based on the match situation.
