Colombia vs Venezuela Betting Tips & Predictions

Group hosts Colombia have won the Copa America just once, back in 2001. This team looks to have enough quality to challenge basically anyone, especially with a strong offense, They certainly have to be considered as lively outsiders behind the big two, Argentina and Brazil.

If you look at where Colombia are going to have strength and win games then it appears to be in midfield, where they have two hugely experienced players who can both create chances. James Rodriguez is still only 29, despite seemingly being on the international scene forever and between him and Juan Cuadrado of Juventus, Colombia have two players who can create chances, score goals and cause all sorts of problems for their opposition.

Venezuela have never won CONMEBOL and are amongst the outsiders to win here, so it looks like Venezuelan fans will have to wait for a few more years yet!. A look at the squad and you will see they don’t have many big names, or players who are playing at a high level in Europe, so it is clear they are going to struggle.

If this team is to shock the bigger teams such as Colombia, Salomon Rondon is going to have to be at the very top of his game and finish any chances he gets. He will lead the line, is very experienced as an international footballer and has scored more than 30 international goals.

It would be no surprise to see Venezuela struggle in the tournament as they look to have a lack of star quality at both ends of the pitch.

Colombia have played Venezuela a total of 40 times and they come out on top in the head to head stats, although we have seen a lot of draws over the years. Colombia have recorded 18 wins, Venezuela have won seven times and we have seen a huge number of draws, with 15 in total.

These teams last met in October 2020, when Colombia played at home and won 3-0 in what was a very convincing performance. They will be hoping for more of the same in this Copa America 2021 clash.
