Preview
Chile head into this after a 2-0 home win over Paraguay in their previous match and look to build on the important 3 points.
This was their first win after successive losses ensuring hopefully start of a consistent run.
Brereton and Isla scored in the second half within three minutes of each other to give Chile only their second win of the qualifiers.
Chile is still left struggling in 8th place with 10 points from 11 matches knowing only a significant turnaround can help their cause.
On the other hand, bottom placed Venezuela beat Ecuador 2-1 at home on Sunday and eye another step in the right direction.
Machis and Bello’s strikes ensured victory but not before Valencia broke the deadlock for the visitors.
This was Venezuela’s first win after 4 consecutive losses; leaving their slim hopes of qualification in tatters.
La Vinotino has picked up just 7 points from 11 matches and are rooted to the bottom of the table
Both sides met in the qualification match last year where Venezuela beat Chile 2-1 in mid-November.

Prediction: Chile 2-1 Venezuela
Both sides are struggling for form and consistency and hence, we can expect a cagey and low scoring affair.
Chile poses a decent squad but haven’t been able to stitch meaningful performances while the visitors are totally out of sync.
We expect the hosts to build on their Sunday win with another three points in the bag.
Sanchez and Co have the side to dispatch a struggling Venezuela side.
