A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : World Cup Qual: CONMEBOL South America
Venue: Monumental de Maturin

Venezuela and Bolivia will battle it out for 7th place supremacy in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying table at the Monumental de Maturin with just a single point separating the two nations ahead of this vitally important upcoming encounter.
7th placed incumbents Venezuela will be looking to further protect an unbeaten home record in this edition of the South American World Cup qualifying campaign as the hosts have collected three wins along with points gained in four draws within an overall home record of 3-4-0 7/2.
A 1-0 home win against Peru was preceded by valuable and impressive points gained against the two South American powerhouses, Argentina and brazil, which both resulted in 1-1 draws while previous wins at home against Paraguay and Chile have further boosted Venezuela’s chances of a possible World Cup finals debut next year.
Bolivia sit just one place and one point below their upcoming hosts in what is the most pivotal fixture on matchday 15 of the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers this week.
However, Bolivia will make their way to the Monumental de Maturin on the back of a five-match winless run which includes losses at the hands of Argentina 6-0, Ecuador 4-0 and a thoroughly disappointing and heavy 3-1 loss on the road at Peru.
Indeed, Bolivia have not registered a World Cup qualifying win since mid-October of last year when La Verde recorded a narrow 1-0 home win against Colombia at high altitude at the Estadio Municipal de El Alto.
Having lost each of their last three qualifiers away from home along with shipping a total of 13 goals and scoring just once in the process, Oscar Villegas’ side look to have another mountain to climb against Venezuela.
The Betting Verdict
Venezuela have also won the last three home fixtures on the trot against Bolivia and the hosts will be keen to add a fourth victory here no doubt.
The Pick :
Venezuela 2-0 Bolivia
