Turkey vs Venezuela: Team News and Expert Analysis
Venezuela tried to fight for seventh place in the qualifiers and earn the right to play in the intercontinental playoff, but ultimately finished with eighteen points, one less than Bolivia. In friendly matches, at least defeats alternated with victories, and they drew 0-0 with Uzbekistan in March—though they later lost in a penalty shootout.
Turkey, after a successful showing at the Euros and moving up to a higher division in the Nations League, also performed well in qualification. They had little chance in the group against Spain, but in the spring playoffs, the team beat both Romania and Kosovo with identical 1-0 scores. Most recently, in a friendly against North Macedonia, they secured an emphatic win, scoring four goals.
The Latin American side averages 1.1 goals per match but concedes more, at 1.5 per game. Montella's team boasts 2.3 goals scored and only 1.3 allowed per match.
