🇻🇪 Venezuela – Fighting for Survival

Venezuela enter the game with pressure mounting. Recent results have not favored them, but they remain resolute in their pursuit of a World Cup playoff spot. Fernando Batista’s side is built on organization, resilience, and counter-attacking speed, which could trouble Colombia if executed efficiently.

Key Players:

• Salomón Rondón – Veteran forward with experience in top leagues; his positioning and aerial ability make him a constant threat.

• Tomás Rincón – Midfield general; provides stability, breaks up play, and organizes the defensive unit.

• David Martínez – Young central defender; increasingly influential with composure and tactical awareness.

Tactics: Expect Venezuela to line up in a 5-3-2 formation, prioritizing defensive compactness. The plan is to absorb pressure, win second balls, and launch fast counters, especially exploiting the wings and Rondón’s presence in the box.

Strengths & Weaknesses:

• Strengths: Discipline, home support, counter-attacks, physicality.

• Weaknesses: Inconsistent form, limited creative outlets, pressure handling.

Key Players:

• James Rodríguez – Creative engine; excels in distributing, shooting from distance, and unlocking defenses.

• Luis Díaz – Rapid winger capable of stretching defenses; dangerous in 1v1 situations and crosses.

• Jhon Córdoba – Target man and physical presence up front; strong in aerial duels and hold-up play.

Tactics: Colombia are likely to adopt a 4-3-3 formation, focusing on patient buildup, wide attacks, and quick transitions when possession is recovered. They may rotate attacking roles to exploit space behind Venezuela’s defensive lines.

Strengths & Weaknesses:

• Strengths: Technical skill, possession control, set-piece threat, squad depth.

• Weaknesses: Occasional defensive lapses, vulnerability to high press, dependence on key creative players.
