Hai đội bóng Venezuela and Canada, although both successfully advanced from the group stage, their convincing power and performances are quite contrasting. In the direct knockout match with many unpredictable developments, will there be any surprises, or will the higher-rated team continue their impressive journey.
Expert analysis of Venezuela vs Canada
In terms of reputation and familiarity with the audience, perhaps many people are rating Canada as the favorite over Venezuela in the quarter-final match of the Copa America. However, this is a season where the strength of Venezuela has been surprisingly impressive, making them a very noteworthy dark horse with the potential to challenge the big teams.
The record of 3 consecutive wins in the group stage is enough to speak for what the team led by coach Leandro Cufre has shown in this year’s group stage campaign. This team does not possess any prominent stars, the most renowned player is perhaps forward Salomon Rondon, a player who has played for Everton in the Premier League, while the rest of the team are mostly unfamiliar to the audience.
However, the collective strength is what has contributed to Venezuela’s success so far in the Copa America 2024. La Vinotinto attacks effectively, but the defense is the biggest support with only 1 goal conceded after 3 matches. It should also be added that Venezuela was in the easiest group of the tournament, and their real test will only come in the match against Canada in the quarter-finals.
The team from the land of the red maple had to struggle to draw against Chile in the final match to secure a spot in the quarter-finals as the runner-up, behind the defending champion Argentina. Coach Jesse Marsch will have a lot to adjust in his team, especially in the attacking aspect as Canada only scored 1 goal after 3 matches played.
According to the analysis from leading experts on how to participate in betting, it will be difficult for Canada to make a difference against a Venezuela team that is on the rise. A victory is predicted for coach Leandro Cufre’s team in the quarter-final match scheduled for 08:00 on July 6th.
Overview of past encounters between Venezuela and Canada
It has been 14 years, Venezuela and Canada have not had the opportunity to face each other on all fronts. Throughout the history, the two teams have only met twice in 2007 and 2010, both matches ended in a draw, so the historical and karmic factors of this match are relatively faint.
Venezuela vs Canada odds
With the soaring form and an extremely effective operating system, it is likely that coach Leandro Cufre of Venezuela will not change anything in the upcoming match. The only case is that center-back Ferraresi is slightly injured and it is still not certain whether he will start.
On the Canadian side, the attack of the red maple team will still have to rely heavily on the individual brilliance of Alphonso Davies or Jonathan Davies, however, this is a quite monotonous approach and their opponents in the group stage did not have much difficulty in neutralizing it. Perhaps, the reason Canada only scored 1 goal after 3 matches comes from this lack of ideas.
- Venezuela -0/0.5: Perhaps the unpredictability in the direct elimination stage makes the bookmakers’ assessments of the Venezuela Canada odds more cautious. However, with their extremely high performance in this tournament, La Vinotinto can advance to the semi-finals.
- Total goals under: With the over/under goal ratio for the whole match being 2/2.5, viewers may imagine a tightly contested match with a high level of caution. It is likely that this match will not see the net bulge more than twice for both goalkeepers.
- Both teams to score – No: Looking at the solidity of Venezuela’s defense, along with the weakness in Canada’s attacking firepower throughout their recent journey, it is likely that only one team will find the opponent’s net in this match, and that team is likely to be Venezuela.
