Quick Facts

  • Mexico are eyeing their twelfth consecutive win in all competitions
  • Le Tri managed to keep a clean sheet in nine of their last ten games
  • Under 2.5 goals were scored in five of Venezuela’s last six matches
  • Both teams scored in each of last three meetings between Mexico and Venezuela
  • Venezuela are after their first win over Mexico since 1982

Mexico vs Venezuela Prediction

Both Mexico and Venezuela have already booked their place in the Copa America Centenario quarter-finals, but it remains to be seen which team is going to clinch top position in Group C. As I have already mentioned, Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio is going to experiment against El Vinotinto and that is the main reason why I am not tempted to put my money on El Tri. Both sides are likely to adopt a cautious approach in Tuesday’s game and, taking everything into account, under 2.5 goals bet should be considered.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 1.90 (9/10) @Unibet
