Argentina vs Venezuela Prediction: Argentina to get back to winning ways

Argentina vs Venezuela: Prediction for the Match on October 11, 2025

Argentina will take on Venezuela in an international friendly after their loss to Ecuador in their final World Cup qualification game last month. The 2022 World Cup Champions have secured their coveted qualification to the 2026 World Cup, where they’ll aim for back-to-back World Cup glory. 

Venezuela, on the other hand, failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, and they’ll now miss two World Cups in a row. This is only a friendly game, but we believe Argentina will take up the mantle and secure another win here. Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Argentina: Form and Statistics

Argentina’s road to the 2026 World Cup ended on a bad note with a narrow 1-0 defeat to Ecuador, but that result had no impact on their dominant qualifying campaign, which saw them finish at the top of their World Cup qualifying group. Lionel Scaloni’s men were a top team and maintained their class, collecting 38 points from 18 matches to finish comfortably at the top of the group, nine clear of Ecuador and ten ahead of rivals Brazil.

As defending world champions, La Albiceleste will head into next year’s tournament once again among the favourites. Replicating their dramatic 2022 triumph over France would be a monumental feat and a history for Lionel Scaloni in the football world. Argentina’s record against Venezuela speaks for itself: 25 wins from their last 30 meetings, including a comfortable 3-0 victory in their World Cup qualifier back in September 2025.

Form in the qualifiers: LLLWW

Venezuela’s wait for a first-ever World Cup appearance goes on, as their 2026 qualifying campaign ended in disappointment despite early flashes of potential. The Vinotinto fell agonizingly short of a playoff spot, finishing eighth in the South American standings with 18 points, just two behind 7th placed Bolivia, who is left to fight for a spot in the playoffs. Their record of four wins, six draws, and eight defeats showed potential, but it was not quite enough to make history this time. Head coach Oswaldo Vizcarrondo is now focused on the next chapter, using this set of friendlies, against Argentina, Belize, Nigeria, and Canada, to rebuild the squad.
