Venezuela vs Peru Prediction and Betting Tips | March 25th 2025
Venezuela will face Peru at the Estadio Monumental on Tuesday in another round of their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The home side have endured a difficult qualifying campaign so far and are rapidly running out of time to clinch automatic qualification for their maiden World Cup appearance as they sit eighth in the table with just 12 points from 13 matches.
They were beaten 2-1 by Ecuador in their game on Friday, finding themselves two goals down in the second half before Jhonder Cadiz came off the bench to pull one back for La Vinotinto late in the day.
Peru have not fared any better than their midweek opponents in their qualification campaign so far and have work to do if they are to secure a first World Cup appearance since 2018. They returned to winning ways last time out with a 3-1 home victory over Bolivia featuring goals from three different players including veteran striker Paolo Guerrero who registered his 40th international goal.
The visitors sit one place and two points behind their midweek opponents in the table and will be looking to leapfrog them with maximum points this week.

Venezuela vs Peru Prediction
La Vinotinto are on a three-game losing streak and are without a win in their last nine games across all competitions. They have, however, picked up huge results on home turf of late, playing out draws against Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay and will fancy their chances ahead of the midweek clash.
Peru's latest result ended a three-game winless and goalless run and they will now be looking to build on that this week. They have, however, struggled for results away from home of late and could lose.
Prediction: Venezuela 1-0 Peru
