The Venezuelan soccer team will go for the three points against Uruguay on Tuesday, September 10, in a duel that will be played at the Monumental Stadium in Maturín, Monagas state, on the eighth date of the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
The Venezuelan team, led by Fernando “Bocha” Batista, will host a Uruguayan squad plagued with important absences, as it will not have undisputed starters such as Darwin Núñez, Federico Valverde, Ronald Araújo, among other key players.
However, Batista said in a press conference prior to the match that he is not confident about this situation and expects a physical, tough match, as La Celeste usually does under Marcelo Bielsa‘s technical direction.
La Vinotinto is coming off a 4-0 loss to Bolivia in El Alto, at almost 4,000 meters above sea level (masl), in what was a complicated match precisely because of the altitude. In fact, the coach said that “it is inhuman” to play in those conditions, although he added that both players and coaching staff turned the page quickly and now go with the mission of scoring against Uruguay.
It should be noted that Venezuela is fifth in the World Cup qualifying round with nine points. In seven matches the record is two wins, three draws and two losses.
