Venezuela will be at home against Paraguay on Match Day 2 of the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers. The two nations started their campaigns without wins and Paraguay are fifth, Venezuela seventh. Coming into this game, hosts Venezuela fell 1-0 away to Colombia. That result brough their undefeated run of seven matches to a halt. It was also the first time in eight matches that they failed to score. Their scoring form hasn’t been strong in recent matches though. In their last four matches, they haven't managed more than a goal, though they have two clean sheets in three. Their last four matches produced under 2.5 goals and it is the same in four of the last five home matches. They’ve managed more than a goal in just one of their last five home matches.

Paraguay will come into this game looking to improve on their 0-0 draw with Peru on Match Day 1. They have a good run against Venezuela and will be counting on that too. In their last five meetings, Paraguay have three wins and just a loss. They come into this game with a weak scoring form, just like Venezuela. Paraguay have failed to score in four of their last six matches. The visitors have to improve on this if they are to avoid a fourth loss in six matches. As it stands, Paraguay have one win only in the last six matches. That was against Nicaragua at home. Seven of their last eight matches have had under 2.5 goals but they’ve scored twice in two of three matches. Away from home, three of their last four matches had under 2.5 goals.
