Paraguay vs Venezuela: Storylines andHead-to-Head
On Sunday, Paraguay snatched a valuable point from Colombia. However, they can’t appreciate the draw yet given the complicated circumstances in which they find themselves right now. The fact that they won just once in eight rounds explains by itself how tough their current situation is.
But Venezuela are in an even worse spot as of now and the outlook isn’t encouraging. The delicate atmosphere in the soccer federation is not helpful for the team’s lacklustre moment as it saw Peseiro leave on short notice prior to this fixture. On Matchday 6, they recorded their sixth defeatin the tournament at Peru.
These two sides will meet for the 16th time in the World Cup Qualifiers. Paraguay have the edge with 11 wins, while Venezuela claimed the victory three times, and they drew just once.
