Venezuela are looking to leap at least two places up the 2022 World Cup qualification table in the South America region when they host Argentina in their seventh game of the qualifiers. The CONMEBOL qualifiers have been hit by postponements but it seems the seventh round of matches have the all-clear, though some clubs in Europe may fail to release players. Venezuela are ninth going to this game, with four points and Argentina are second with 12 points. The hosts haven’t had a very good run; they go to this clash without a win in six matches and just one in 10. They have lost six of their last 10 matches and their scoring run hasn’t also been impressive; the team has managed just three goals in the opening six games of the qualifiers. In their last five matches across all competitions, Venezuela have scored just two goals in five matches, and the two have come in one game. The hosts have kept only two clean sheets in their last 10 matches and in the last 15 World Cup qualification matches, they have managed just three wins. At home, in the last five World Cup qualification matches, Venezuela have failed to score in four.

Argentina return to the CONMEBOL region as the South American champions. They’ll also be aiming at extending their unbeaten run to 21 matches, a run that started back in 2019 with a 2-1 win over Chile. In the 20 unbeaten matches, Argentina have registered 12 wins with eight ending in draws. In the current qualifiers, they have three wins and three draws, which place them six points behind leaders Brazil who will be facing off with Chile. Argentina have had a good run in the recent games, winning five of the last six, keeping four clean sheets. They have scored at least two goals in the last four away matches in World Cup qualifiers, with Lionel Messi scoring four in that run. Head to head with Venezuela, Argentina have managed three wins and a loss in the last six meetings.
