I believe in the Brazilian team 100% and sure there are going to qualify just as their have always done, and if we should be worried for any country at all it shouldn't be Brazil since for sure we knows their capacity and success history and records on the world cups competition in the past, so qualifying for this coming wold cup is not an issue for a country like Brazil as far as football is concerned.

What are the chances that Venezuela secures a direct qualification spot?

I would say, not so many. They need at least two wins, and even in this case, things depend on the other games as well. The only sure thing is that they will need to get the win in the upcoming match against Bolivia. If they manage this, then things can be different.

What are the probabilities of qualifying through the playoffs? Or do you think Venezuela will not make it to this event?

This is a more possible scenario to happen and more chances for Venezuela to get the ticket. However, playoffs are tricky for any team, and they will need a more careful approach. Still, their possibilities are good since the remaining teams are on the same level and Venezuela has nothing to be afraid of.

I don't know if they will qualify or not, but something that I believe has a greater chance of happening is that they will lose in the game against Argentina, Uruguay and Colombia. So if they don't manage to win in the game against Colombia, then they will be in the worst situation, they will not qualify. I want to leave you with a very important fact about Venezuela vs Colombia:

In the last 5 games in which these two teams faced each other, Venezuela was unable to beat Colombia.

So it's safe to say that Venezuela has a good chance of losing against Argentina, Uruguay and Colombia. Now about Bolivia, they have some chance, in the last 4 games they played against Bolivia, they managed to win in 2 games

If matches and statistics from five years ago represented reality, then Colombia would be better than Argentina, since in its last matches against Venezuela, Argentina won 3, lost 1, and drew 1.

Additionally, in recent matches against the top teams in the group Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina, Venezuela has managed to secure a draw.

That is why I maintain that Venezuela is underrated.

Statistics do matter, I don't know how you can think that Colombia would be better than Argentina, I'll just give you more data:

Argentina Vs Colombia h2h



https://livescores.biz/h2h/argentina-cf-vs-colombia-cf

In the last 9 years they have played 9 games, with 4 draws, 2 victories for Colombia, and 3 victories for Argentina. To add that Argentina is the current champion of the Copa America in which they won in the final in the game against Colombia, Argentina is also the current champion of the World Cup.

Argentina has a better squad than Colombia, while Venezuela does not have a good squad compared to Argentina, Uruguay and Colombia, which are its next three difficult opponents. But with that I do not mean that there cannot be a miracle for Venezuela to win, this miracle would only happen if Argentina, Uruguay and Colombia were already qualified and wanted to save players and put team B or C.

It's hard to say, but to secure a spot, Venezuela needs to win important games. The match against Bolivia could be decisive for a direct spot, and they need to hope that their other direct rivals stumble. Uruguay and Argentina will not be easy opponents. If they can maintain at least 7th place, they may have a chance of qualifying in the playoffs, but it's not a very comfortable position.

Statistics are just that,statistics. They do not represent reality, and it is because of this ideology that people end up losing large amounts of money in betting.

Suppose Venezuela faces Argentina; statistically, the odds would favor Argentina, but that does not mean you should bet your house and all your money on Argentina winning.

The results of previous matchups between national teams do not reflect reality because there are long periods between their matches, which skew the situation.

Regarding Argentina and Colombia, I never said Colombia was better. I simply pointed out that, if we go strictly by statistics based on both teams' results against Venezuela, Colombia would be better statistically.

I am from Venezuelan, and as Venezuelan I am quite skeptical on our actual chances to get to participate on the World Cup which is coming. Historically, we have always under-performed when compared to other teams of the continent, so I rather to be skeptical and keep expectations up and then suffer some disappointment from my national team.
Though, I admit, if we manage to get to play on the world cup I don't think we will able to endure much time or many matches before getting eliminated. I am skeptical, not pessimistic, all of it being base on our previous experienced with our struggles to get to participate in former world cups.

Thank you for being so objective because the road is not looking smooth for Venezuela. They already have the big boys ahead of them and I don't know which of them will be willing to drop for them. In their fixture, the only team they have the chance of winning is Bolivia, after which they will bow to Argentina and Uruguay and possibly get at most a draw with Columbia and that is not enough to give them world cup slot. Columbia on the other hand have four goals to their advantage and are five points ahead of Venezuela, this means Venezuela should rather prepare for International playoff.

What's curious is that Venezuela got good draws against Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil
Some things go against the logic and one possible explanation is that when faced with very strong teams, weaker teams can put in a lot more effort than usual while the stronger team thinks it's going to be an easy game...


For those of you who don't follow South American soccer as much, only Argentina have a higher level than others right now and 31 points

Only 3 points separate second place from 6th
I've never seen such an equilibrated qualifiers

Don't think Colombia are weak, they're a very strong team
I think Venezuela have a better chance of qualifying than Bolivia
The match between the two teams could be decisive

I don't know... let's see
I hope Brazil qualifies this time, people in the streets say the team and the technician are good this time and that Brazil stands a good chance of winning the hexa this time
maybe hope? we'll see

even if Venezuela qualifies how far do you think they can go?

this is the thing, in god's hands the tradeoff for Brazil was having the worst politicians but the best football players
but this is a bit twisted for the past twenty something years where Brazil haven't won any new world cups but the politicians stayed the worst ones

It's hard to say, but to secure a spot, Venezuela needs to win important games. The match against Bolivia could be decisive for a direct spot, and they need to hope that their other direct rivals stumble. Uruguay and Argentina will not be easy opponents. If they can maintain at least 7th place, they may have a chance of qualifying in the playoffs, but it's not a very comfortable position.

let's wait and see
maybe there's still hope

Today is the day Venezuela could get closer to direct qualification, if Venezuela defeats Uruguay in Montevideo.
