Venezuela - Uruguay: The roadblock unexpectedly
Uruguay is sure to have a direct ticket to the World Cup in 2018, but suddenly there is a roadblock.
* Force
- Venezuela: Full squad
- Uruguay: In formation
* Statistics and confrontation
- In the last five encounters in the World Cup qualifiers, Uruguay won 2 and drew 3 against Venezuela, including one in the opponent's field.
- Since the beginning of 2017, Venezuela has not won any matches in qualifying or friendly (6 matches).
- Uruguay ended the series of six consecutive non-win last month (2-1 at Paraguay).
Experts still "deliberately" entice Uruguay into the stress of the race in the final two rounds qualifying for two reasons. The first is their performance is unstable. The second is ... Venezuela.
However, the final point for coach Oscar Tabarez is "when they officially hold the ticket in hand" - tonight or Tuesday next week?
Uruguay suddenly fell into a downturn from late last year to early this year - losing five consecutive games, including three in the World Cup qualifiers. That is also part of the reason they let Brazil create a big gap and soon win the first ticket to Russia.
However, their anxiety about their form has been somewhat relaxed when returning to qualifying in September, with four points earned from Argentina and Paraguay, to place second in the rankings. - 27 points.
The road ahead was wide with Tabarez and the students, because in the last two rounds, they all meet opponents were eliminated - Venezuela, Bolivia.
If the Uruguayan style is better, Venezuela remains the only reason for the fears of the 2011 South American championship.
Why has not one team won the last seven consecutive games and ranked the qualifying standings to be a surprise to Uruguay, when it should have been just the procedure?
The reason is the teacher coach Rafael Dudamel not let go factor to affect the fairness of the race.
Accepting defeat at this race, Dudamel is aiming for a new generation of Venezuelan football, who have won the runners-up spot at the World U20 World Cup this past summer.
Since November of the same year, Venezuela has not won the World Cup qualifiers, but in the last three quarters, they have only lost to Chile (1-3), while keeping their opponents in good form as well. Present in the race are Peru, Colombia, Argentina have to split points.
Of course, Uruguay needs to "thank" their opponents for that as it partly helps them regain second place, but tonight, Luis Suarez and his teammate will have a realistic experience of defensive ability of the opponent. .
The last two games, Venezuela have less control of the ball than Colombia and Argentina, but in the way they "lulled" the opponent, the ability to counter attack is still very good.
There is a special thing that top strikers like Suarez or Edinson Cavani have to remember, the rivals have a young goalkeeper who is considered by professionals as "the big star in the future of South American football" - Wuilker FarÃñez.
FarÃñez, in fact, destroys the opponent's plan with great saves - even though he's only about 1m75.
In San Cristobal, the scenario is likely to be similar to the previous two games, but what Uruguay needs to draw is not to be despised and to take full advantage of the opportunity.
The good news is that recently, Tabarez has discovered 19-year-old talent, Federico Valverde, taking on the role of central midfielder, bringing power and creativity to the game, helping Suarez, Cavani focus more on duty. case clearance.
It is hoped for Uruguay to overcome obstacles to win tickets tonight, although many believe they will only 1 point.
Prediction: 1-2
