Argentina may have already qualified for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar – their 13th straight finals appearance – credit to their unbeaten World Cup Qualifying (WCQ) campaign so far (W10, D5). Indeed, Argentina are hunting down a first-ever unbeaten CONMEBOL qualification campaign since the restructuring ahead of the 1998 finals (a feat Brazil can also achieve) and thoughts may also be starting to turn to Italy’s world record of 37 unbeaten internationals, after Argentina made it 29 games without a loss when defeating Colombia in February.
With still plenty left to play for, as Argentina set to make records, our today’s betting tips will focus on two of the best betting sites in Africa, BetFox and Betway welcome bonus.
ARGENTINA
Second placed Argentina are unbeaten in World Cup qualifying, and they should ease to a victory against the side who prop up the table in Venezuela. The Copa America champions are on a terrific run of form, unbeaten in 29 games over three years, while they have picked up 12 wins in the last 15.
Sitting four points adrift of fierce rivals Brazil ahead of this round, the visit of rock-bottom Venezuela will certainly carry expectations of a high-scoring performance from Argentinian fans, especially after a 3-1 win in the reverse. Manager Lionel Scaloni will perhaps instead be focusing on his nation’s defensive performance though, as they look to make it six home WCQ matches in-a-row without conceding a goal!
VENEZUELA
While Argentina are sauntering towards the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Venezuela are already out of the running thanks to picking up just 10 points from then 16 games.José Pékerman would love to mastermind an upset against his home country, who he managed from 2004-2006, but his current side have lost all eight of their away qualifiers, netting just three goals in the process.
Visiting Venezuela almost look completely doomed before kick-off even approaches then, especially as they’ve won just three of their 16 WCQ matches (D1, L12) this time around as their wait for a first-ever World Cup finals appearance continues. A leaky defence has arguably proven their biggest problem, conceding 30 goals across 16 WCQ outings (1.88 on average) whilst letting in two or more goals in eight of those matches.

OUR ARGENTINA VS. VENEZUELA BETTING PREDICTION
Argentina claimed a 3:1 success when these nations met earlier in the campaign and considering Venezuela´s recent away form, another comfortable victory seems inevitable here so the -1 handicap pick is our first football betting strategy for this clash.
Venezuela have picked up just one victory in their last 20 away World Cup fixtures, dating back to 2012. They have lost all 8 of their away qualifiers, scoring just 3 goals. Hence, for this contest, Argentina to win to nil also holds plenty of appeal.
