Uzbekistan vs Venezuela prediction
Venezuela came from behind to hammer Trinidad and Tobago by four goals to one the other day, inspired by a late brace scored by former West Bromwich Albion striker Salomon Rondon.
Uzbekistan themselves came from behind to defeat a bizarrely inconsistent Gabon side by three goals to one in Tashkent as they prepare for their first ever FIFA World Cup this summer.
Fabio Cannavaro has had a positive start to life as the Uzbek boss and siding with the soon-to-be FIFA World Cup debutants, especially with home advantage, would seem the way to go for this one.
