Saudi Arabia vs Venezuela prediction

• Competition: Friendly International
• Date: Thursday, 9th, June 2022
• Kick off at 18:00 UK/19.00 CET
• Venue: Estadio Enrique Roca (Murcia)

Saudi Arabia surprised many with their performance in the qualifying group for the World Cup, and The Greens not only secured a ticket to Qatar, but ended the campaign as group leaders ahead of powerful Japan. So, Saudi Arabia is preparing for the 5th participation in the World Cup, but the team led by Hervé Renard started the June international break with a minimal 0-1 defeat by Colombia - a few days ago. Venezuela, meanwhile, faced tough results during the World Cup qualifiers, finishing at the bottom of the table with 10 points collected, meaning they will have to wait at least four more years for their first participation. However, La Vinotinto seems to have left their disappointments behind, as they triumphed over Malta with a minimum of 1-0 on the first day of June.

Saudi Arabia vs Venezuela Betting Tips

So far, these two national teams have not had the opportunity to meet, so this will be their first clash. As mentioned, Saudi Arabia suffered a defeat from Colombia, but Venezuela will pose a much smaller threat than Los Cafeteros. Meanwhile, despite La Vinotinto's triumph, most know that Malta is among the weakest European national teams, so the 1-0 result is not a great success for José Néstor Pekerman's team. Saudi Arabia is a team that relies more on defense, and they proved that in the qualification group for the World Cup, where they passed the margin of 2.5 goals only twice out of a total of 10 games. Also, it should be borne in mind that The Greens have stayed under 2.5 goals in each of the previous 10 games, and considering that Venezuela scored only four goals from the previous 8 games, I expect not too much action on both sides. Both teams will adopt a shy approach from the first minute and that means that a low-scoring match is on the menu.
