Venezuela analysis

The performances of Venezuela in recent matches suggest that they are having difficulty scoring goals, with a low number of goals and a high number of matches where they failed to score. This indicates that their attacking play is not creating enough quality chances and needs improvement.

Venezuela has shown that they are a patient team, with a high average first goal scored minutes this season. Their ability to control the game and wait for their opportunities is reflected in their low number of goals conceded.

If Venezuela can continue to maintain this level of patience and discipline, it will serve them well in future matches.

Venezuela, with a ball possession of 43.38% per game on average, is not the team that imposes its game, and rather prefers a tactic devoted to waiting and counterattacks. However, in the match against Argentina of 2026 they will have to do something more, try to maintain possession of the ball and attack the opponent's goal with more continuity.
