Venezuela vs Bolivia prediction 07.06.2025 | World Cup Qualifiers

• Competition: World Cup Qualifiers
• Date: 7^th June 2025
• Kick-off: 01:00 UK / 02:00 CEST
• Venue: Estadio Monumental de Maturín

The South American qualifying campaign for the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues this weekend, with Venezuela hosting Bolivia.

The two sides are separated by just one point and are close neighbours in the bottom four.

Venezuela had the chance to end their nine-match winless run when they hosted Peru, who are bottom of the group, back in March, and they took advantage of the opportunity. La Vinotinto secured a 1–0 victory thanks to Salomón Rondón's penalty and will be hoping for another three points this weekend. However, head coach Fernando Batista will be concerned that his team has not won consecutive games since July.

Meanwhile, Bolivia are without a win in their last five World Cup qualifiers. Following their humiliating 3-1 defeat to Peru at the start of the March international break, La Verde improved with a goalless draw against Uruguay — a game in which they dominated proceedings, with 66% possession and 32 attempts on goal.

Venezuela vs Bolivia Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals

Although Bolivia failed to score in three of their last five matches, they have a strong track record against Venezuela and I expect them to score more than once this weekend. La Verde scored eight goals in the last three meetings between the two sides alone, and found the net at least once in each of the last five matches.

Venezuela have also found it easy to score in recent months, boasting at least one goal in each of their last seven games. However, Fernando Batista’s side are struggling defensively and conceded nine goals in their last four games alone.

• Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
