Venezuela vs Canada Prediction & Betting Tips | 06/07/2024 | Football

Our prediction for this Copa America match:

Venezuela

Venezuela

Canada

Canada

AT&T Stadium will host an eagerly-awaited Copa America clash between Venezuela and Canada, the two teams who face for the first time at the prestigious tournament. La Vinotinto aim to keep their 100% record at the 2024 Copa America intact, but head coach Leandro Cufre must warn his men against complacency. As always, a man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Salomon Rondon, who has netted two goals at the showpiece tournament in USA so far, while adding one assist. Real Valladolid forward Darwin Machis serves a one-game ban.

The Canucks, on the other hand, booked their place in the quarter-finals thanks to a goalless draw with Chile, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the high-flying Venezuelans. Even though Jesse Marsch has a full squad to choose from, we are tempted to place our bets on the nominal hosts as they have been producing excellent displays at the 2024 Copa America.

Prediction:
1-0

Highlighted Player (Jose Salomon Rondon):

Jose Salomon Rondon

Over the years Jose Solomon Rondon has established himself as one of the best South American attackers. The Venezuelan striker was born in Caracas on September 16, 1989 and he played for San Jose de Calasanz at the start of his youth career. He played for the youth teams of Deportivo Guilima and Aragua as well and he continued playing for Aragua at senior level.

After scoring 15 goals in 15 appearances for the club, Salomon Rondon moved to Spain in 2008, signing a deal with La liga side Las Palmas and two years later he moved to fellow Spanish outfit Malaga. The left-footed forward scored 25 goals in 67 appearances in La Liga for los Boquerones, but in the summer of 2012 he moved to Russian club Rubin Kazan.

Despite failing to impress in 36 appearances for the Tatars, Zenit chiefs decided to bring Rondon to Sankt Petersburg in 2014 and it has to be noted that the Venezuela international scored 20 goals in 37 appearances in the Russian Premier League for the Zenitchiki. Salomon Rondon, who made his Venezuela debut in February 2008 against Haiti, currently plays for West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League.

Highlighted Team (Canada):

Canada

Canada national football team played their first official match back in 1924 when they suffered a 3-2 loss to Australia in Brisbane. The following year the two teams faced each other one in Adelaide, with the Canadians managing to get their revenge on the Socceroos. The Canucks had several unsuccessful attempts to make it to the World Cup finals, but in 1986 they finally booked their place at the showpiece tournament.

Canada faced France in their opener, with Jean-Pierre Papin scoring the winner for les Tricolores in the dying minutes of the match. The Canadians were beaten by Hungary and USSR in the next two group games as well and, as a result, they failed to advance to the knockout stages.

Speaking of the team’s trophies, the Canucks won the CONCACAF Gold cup on two occasions (1985, 2000), with the team beating Honduras and Colombia respectively in the title games. Canada national football team play their home games at BMO Field and the capacity of the venue is 30,000.
