World champions Argentina host Venezuela in a vital World Cup qualification clash on Thursday night. Whilst the home side have already booked their place at next year's tournament, Venezuela's qualification hopes are hanging in the balance. They are currently occupying seventh place in the standings, which would earn them a spot in the Inter-Confederaiton playoffs. However, with two games remaining, they could still be overtaken by Bolivia, who are lurking just one point behind them. There is still an outside chance that Fernando Batista's side could secure an automatic qualification spot, however, that would require them to defeat both Argentina and Colombia in their final two games, and hope that other results go their way.
Argentina have been in scintillating form during the qualifiers, winning 11 of their 16 games to establish a 10 point lead at the top of the table. Prior to their 1-1 draw with Compbia last time out, they had won five consecutive games, including a memorable 4-1 victory over arch-rivals Brazil.

Our Argentina vs Venezuela Prediction
Argentina look unstoppable at the moment, so whilst this is a vital game for the Venezuelans, we cannot see them getting anything from their trip to Buenos Aires. With the likes of Lionel Messi, Lautaro Martinez and Julián Álvarez in their squad, it seems inevitable that the home side will have plenty of joy in front of goal.
However, we also think that Venezuela's urgent need for points will see them try to play on the front foot, so we really like the chance of them netting a consolation goal.
Our prediction for Argentina vs Venezuela is: Argentina to win and both teams to score.
