This game, of utmost importance for both squads, will feature the presence of Vinícius Junior, Neymar, and Salomón Rondón, among others, seeking to earn three points for their respective countries. Given the crucial nature of this match, at Depor.com, we have prepared this article with information about the date, times, and television channels for its broadcast. Pay attention!
Brazil faces a challenge against Venezuela, a team that has never managed to defeat the 'Verdeamarela' in the South American qualifiers. Vinícius Júnior, who missed the first two matches due to an injury, returns to contribute to the national team, taking advantage of the excellent form he is experiencing at his club, Real Madrid.
'Vini' will start as a starter to establish an attacking line alongside Richarlison and Rodrygo, who is also a player for Madrid, while Neymar will play in a slightly deeper position. Venezuela, on the other hand, is preparing for a great duel and the search for a historic result.
Throughout the South American qualifiers, they have never managed to defeat the Brazilian national team, with a record of 17 defeats and only one draw in their history. The Vinotinto is part of a select group of three teams that have never managed to snatch three points from Canarinha in this competition, along with Peru and Colombia.
Although the team led by the Argentine Fernando Batista has had a promising start, with a narrow defeat against Colombia (1-0) in an away match and a minimal victory against Paraguay (1-0), Venezuelans rely on Josef Martínez and Salomón Rondón as their main references in the forward line.
