Venezuela vs Turkiye prediction

Venezuela come into this one on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Canada in a friendly in their most recent outing in November. The Venezuelans finished eighth in CONMEBOL qualification for this summer due to a 6-3 loss at home to Colombia in their final game.

They now face a Turkiye side that, coached by Vincenzo Montella, are heading back to the global stage for the first time since reaching the semi-finals in 2022. The Turks boast quite an impressive squad featuring the likes of Arda Guler and Kenan Yildiz.

Turkiye have a strong side and will head into this summer with a fair bit of confidence – and they are the firm favourites to beat the Venezuelans.
