Venezuela vs Chile Prediction: The teams have roughly equal chances of success

In the fourth round of the qualifying tournament for the 2026 World Cup in South America, the Venezuelan national team will meet the Chilean team in Maturin. Bookmakers do not highlight a clear favorite, believing the teams have roughly equal chances of success.

The Venezuelan national team has four points after three rounds played. In September, the future hosts lost to Colombia 0:1, beating Paraguay 1:0 at home. Within the third round, Venezuela made a sensation, bringing from Brazil one point, a 1:1 draw. In the standings, Venezuela takes the sixth place, i.e., enters the zone of direct access to the final part of the World Cup. It should be noted that 100% of matches involving Venezuela at the tournament were draws.

The team started with a 1:3 defeat to Uruguay and continued with a 0:0 draw with Colombia. In the third round on October 13, Chile beat Peru 2:0. Two matches out of three involving Chileans at the tournament were draws. Before the start of the 4th round, the national team of Chile in the standings of the group is in fifth place, ahead of Venezuela on the secondary indicators.

Recently, Venezuela and Chile have played each other exclusively through TO (2.5), but something suggests that the upcoming match will not be rich in goals. 100% of Venezuela's matches at the tournament have been draws, while two of Chile's three matches have also been scoreless. Plus, they are direct rivals, which is also not good for high performance. As for the outcome, we won't be surprised if Venezuela can beat Chile at home after the draw in Brazil.
