Motivation will make the difference. Venezuela, playing their last World Cup qualifier at home, will take all three points. Yes, there is no doubt about that, despite the bookmakers giving them very high odds.
But who is so sure? Obviously, the South American qualifying group standings. There are only 90 minutes left to play and the hosts are in seventh place with 18 points, one more than Bolivia. Seventh place would allow Venezuela to go to the World Cup play-offs. Colombia, on the other hand, with 25 points so far, has already secured its place in next summer’s tournament. Tell us: can there be any doubt about a possible home victory?
No, there can’t be, and without even thinking about possible combinations to raise the odds, let’s go straight to what is at stake for a victory for Venezuela, which, as mentioned, seems a foregone conclusion to us.
