Despite a humbling 3-0 defeat to Argentina, Batista’s squad has shown resilience, particularly in narrow wins over Honduras and Guatemala. Salomón Rondón continues to be the focal point in attack, supported by the nimble Yeferson Soteldo and Darwin Martínez. The midfield, led by Tomás Rincón and Cristian Cásseres Jr., offers tenacity, though the absence of Yangel Herrera due to injury has left a noticeable void. Defensively, Rafael Romo has been reliable between the posts, but lapses on counterattacks remain a concern.

Expect Colombia to strike first through Díaz, with Venezuela clawing back via Rondón’s aerial prowess.
