Venezuela continues searching for a win in the ongoing World Cup qualification campaign. Their last 5 games in the campaign has seen 3 defeats and 2 draws. Venezuela’s problem seem to be their defense, they have conceded 21 goals in the games played so far. They need more work in their defense to be able to avoid a defeat in this game.
