Argentina vs Venezuela: Match Preview
Argentina has had an impressive qualifying campaign for the upcoming World Cup. In 16 matches, they have earned 35 points and are currently at the top of the table. They lead by ten points, a gap that widened when Chile took points from Ecuador. Argentina secured their World Cup spot after defeating Brazil 4-1. They then edged past Chile 1-0 and drew 1-1 with Colombia. The Albiceleste have two matches left to play.
Venezuela is still in contention for a World Cup spot. With 18 points after 16 qualifying matches, they hold the seventh position in the standings.
