A total of 20 points separate the two opponents in this encounter, but Brazil knows these are the kind of points that can slip if they don’t watch out.
Venezuela is not only going against history, but also against the present. The team is currently in bad shape as they haven’t been able to win since last November when they played against Chile at this location.
The Venezuelans will be extremely understaffed in this game as their top two Goal scorers have failed. Josef Martínez and Salomón Rondón are out due to injury.
The same applies to Atlético machine gunman Jefferson Savarino, who has been out for three weeks due to an adductor injury and was not ready for this round. He was replaced by Eduard Bello of Deportivo Antofagasta.
Since then, La Vinotito has been without a win for the past nine years, including their participation in the Copa America.
For interim coach Leo González, the job is ahead of him has, almost unlikely, but his team hopes a string of positive results can bring them back in the battle for a possible maiden voyage at the World Cup.
During the final qualifying session, he had to deal with injuries and then bans, especially after Game against Argentina.
Brazil are ready to stay perfect in qualifying, but they also know that a poor performance could result in them coming out of Caracas with less than three points.
Logically, Brazil could reach that 27-point mark, which basically guarantees you a place for the World Cup, but mathematically you would need 11 more at this point in order to have no doubts.
It won’t be easy for the Pentacampeão because it does without Neymar and Casemiro (personal reasons). The latter will miss all of the World Cup qualifiers and is expected to return in November. Neymar has to sit out a game due to a suspension.
Atlético Madrid man Matheus Cunha is also out with an adductor strain and Arthur Cabral from FC Basel is appointed for the first time in his place.
Venezuela probably XI: Wuilker Fariñez ; Alexander González, Federal Chancellor Jhon, Nahuel Ferraresi, Oscar González; José Andrés Martínez, Junior Moreno; Eduard Bello, Rómulo Otero, Yeferson Soteldo; Jan Hurtado
Brazil probably XI: Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Guilherme Arana; Fabinho, Éverton Ribeiro, Gerson, Lucas Paquetá; Gabiel Barbosa, Gabriel Jesus
