Bitesize Prediction: Peru vs Venezuela – 22/11/23

Competition: World Cup qualifiers

Market: Venezuela double chance

Odds: 4/7 @ 1xBet

Looking to spring a World Cup qualifying upset on foreign soil in midweek, Venezuela will make the trip to Peru in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Starting with the hosts, while Peru might have opened their World Cup qualifying adventure with their sights set on trying to mount a genuine top-six charge, Juan Reynoso’s side are enduring a major nightmare. Marking their return to qualifying action last week with another worrying performance as they slumped to a 2-0 loss at the hands of Bolivia, Los Incas have come under a huge amount of scrutiny. Signing off October’s international break with another 2-0 defeat against reigning world champions Argentina, it appears that Peru are facing a massive uphill struggle. Despite getting proceedings underway on September 7th as they eventually had to settle for a 0-0 stalemate against Paraguay, that is the inly point that Reynoso’s squad have picked up from their five qualifying appearances. Likewise, with their recent issues underlined by another 2-0 loss against Chile on foreign soil, Wednesday’s hosts have lost their last four outings. It should also be highlighted, Peru have failed to notch a single qualifying goal so far this year.

As for the visitors, although Venezuela might have opened their qualifying adventure with a 1-0 loss away against Colombia on September 8th, Fernando Batista’s side have come roaring back. Despite marking their return to qualifying duties last week with a 0-0 stalemate at home against Ecuador, La Vino Tintoi are unbeaten in each of their previous four appearances. With their recent turn in fortunes underlined by a stunning 3-0 romp against Chile on October 17th, the one-time Argentina youth coach will be most excited by his side’s continued defensive resolve. Including a 1-0 win against Paraguay back on September 12th, it should be noted that Venezuela have shipped just a single goal in over 400 minutes of action. Looking to cash in on a Peru squad who find themselves at the heart of a major World Cup qualifying nightmare, Batista’s men should be smelling an opportunity in midweek. Given the recent gulf in class, we are backing an away double chance in the early hours of Wednesday.
