Too bad with the Australia match this morning, but at least I was right with the fact that Saudis will offer no threat.

A few words from South America:

Venezuela, only a couple of points away from a direct World Cup spot in the South American qualifying group, will host five-time world champions Brazil in Maturín late on Thursday. Dorival Júnior's protégés have played minor winning qualifiers, but it may very well be that the increase in the number of teams for the next games has been a bad sign for Brazil as they cannot see the possibility of not qualifying.

Fernando Batista's command of Venezuela may well make it to the first World Cup tournament in its history, but there is still a long way to go. Six teams from South America can now go directly to the games, and "Vinotinto" are very close of going directly to the finals! In this summer's Copa América, Venezuela won all of their games in the group stage, but in the quarter-finals Canada treated them in a tough way and showed them a lesson of football.

Team news:

Yordan Osorio, who earns his living in Parma of the Italian Serie A, had to stay on the sidelines in the last moments due to injury - the experienced Wilker Ángel was chosen instead. Jhon Chancellor is also on the sidelines, but otherwise, Venezuela has all key players in the November games.

In October, Brazil won against Peru and Chile, who are at the bottom of the qualifying group, but it is unlikely that the country of samba will dare to shout cheers because of the situation in the Copa América and the World Cup qualifying group. Brazil will make it to the Games in any case, but there is enough to be done in order for A Seleção to get in such shape that in 2026 the sixth World Cup gold will be in the trophy cabinet. There is time, and the player base is the biggest in the world to choose from. There are more than a 1000 Brazilians playing professional football abroad.

Team news:

Neymar, who recently recovered from a long knee injury, is still sidelined from the Brazilian team, and now has muscle problems in turn. Pedro, Éder Militão, and Bremer are rehabilitating their own ACL injuries and Alisson and Rodrygo are also out injured.

Will there be another mudball at Venezuela's home game?

Venezuela has not yet lost in five home matches and has only scored once in their own, although Argentina and Uruguay have visited, for example, as guests. Of course, domestic interest is at best/worst in the South America wild, and Venezuela also benefits from Maturín's occasional potato field. Rainy weather has been promised in the weather forecast for Thursday, which means the field is probably not in the best condition.

Yet, the talent of Brazil.. it must show.

Away win by 2-3 goals. Good luck!

今天早上澳大利亚的比赛太糟糕了，但至少我是对的，沙特不会构成威胁。

来自南美洲的几句话：

周四晚些时候，委内瑞拉将在Maturín主场迎战五届世界冠军巴西队，目前距离直接进入世界杯南美预选赛小组只有两分之遥。Dorival Júnior的proprosamgsams在预选赛中也有过获胜的表现，但很有可能下一届比赛参赛球队数量的增加对巴西来说是一个不好的信号，因为他们看不到无缘预选赛的可能性。

费尔南多·巴蒂斯塔（Fernando Batista）率领的委内瑞拉很可能会在该国历史上首次参加世界杯，但仍有很长的路要走。来自南美洲的六支球队现在可以直接参加比赛，而“Vinotinto”非常接近直接进入决赛！在今年夏天的美洲杯上，委内瑞拉在小组赛中赢得了所有比赛，但在四分之一决赛中，加拿大对他们的态度很强硬，给他们上了一堂足球课。

团队新闻:

在意甲帕尔马谋生的奥索里奥在最后时刻因伤不能上场，经验丰富的威尔克Ángel被选中。约翰·钱塞勒也在场外，但除此之外，委内瑞拉在11月的比赛中拥有所有关键球员。

今年10月，巴西战胜了预选赛小组垫底的秘鲁和智利，但考虑到美洲杯和世界杯预选赛小组的形势，这个桑巴舞之国不太可能敢于欢呼。无论如何，巴西都将参加奥运会，但要想让A seleo达到这样的状态，到2026年，第六枚世界杯金牌将被放在奖杯柜里，还有很多事情要做。我们有的是时间，而且玩家基础是世界上最大的。有超过1000名巴西人在国外踢职业足球。

团队新闻:

内马尔最近刚刚从长期的膝伤中恢复过来，但他仍然没有参加巴西队的比赛，现在又出现了肌肉问题。佩德罗、Éder milit<e:1> o和布雷默都在恢复自己的前交叉韧带伤病，阿利森和罗德里戈也因伤缺阵。

委内瑞拉的主场比赛还会有泥球吗？

委内瑞拉在五场主场比赛中没有输过球，在自己的主场比赛中只进过一次球，尽管阿根廷和乌拉圭曾作为客人来访。当然，国内对南美野生作物的兴趣是好是坏，委内瑞拉也从Maturín偶尔的马铃薯田中受益。天气预报说星期四会下雨，这意味着这块地的情况可能不是最好的。

然而，巴西的人才…它必须表现出来。

客场以2-3球获胜。好运！
