South American international football is back as Argentina take on Venezuela in a CONMEBOL World Cup Qualification match.
The 2021 Copa America winners have already qualified for the World Cup in Qatar this summer and Venezuela can't physically qualify - so this is really more of an exhibition match for both sides. Either way, we're looking forward to a fantastic game of football.
Argentina come into this game on a remarkable 29-match unbeaten run. Venezuela on the other hand have one win in five and haven't kept a clean sheet in 12 matches. This could be fun.
With both sides with nothing to lose, We are sure both teams will go all out and it'll be a massively open and exciting game.

Prediction: Argentina 5 - 0 Venezuela
We know they'll be goals in this game, but we think they'll all be going Argentina's way. They'll likely field a strong lineup to prepare for the team they may select at the World Cup and with the Venezuelans in such poor form, they'll certainly put quite a few past them.
