Argentina are currently on top of the FIFA World Cup 2026 CONMEBOL Qualifiers standings with Venezuela in sixth after eight rounds of matches.
Venezuela will host Argentina in a ninth-round match of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifiers at the Estadio Monumental de Maturin in Maturin, Venezuela on Friday, October 11.
The Venezuela vs Argentina FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifier match will start at 02:30 AM IST on Friday. Live streaming of the match will be available in India.
Argentina, with six wins and two losses, are currently on top of the FIFA World Cup 2026 CONMEBOL Qualifiers with 18 points after eight rounds of action.
Meanwhile, hosts Venezuela are currently in the sixth position with 10 points having bagged two wins, four draws and suffered two defeats.
CONMEBOL, also known as the South American Football Confederation, has a total of 10 teams. The top six automatically qualify for the FIFA World Cup 2026, which will be jointly hosted by the United States of America, Canada and Mexico.
The team placed seventh will proceed to play in the FIFA Play-Off Tournament.
Each team in CONMEBOL will play a total of 18 matches in the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers which includes two matches each, at home and away, against all the other nine sides.
Venezuela are coming into the contest after a 0-0 draw against Uruguay at home in the last round at the same venue.
Meanwhile, Argentina, without their talisman Lionel Messi, were subjected to a 1-2 defeat at Colombia in the last round.
The contest, which was a rematch of the Copa America 2024 final, saw Argentina being handed only their second defeat in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifiers.
Messi, who missed Argentina’s last two qualifiers due to an ankle injury he suffered in the Copa America 2024 final, is set for a return in the Venezuela match. Argentina will hope that the return of the star footballer will help them get back to winning ways.
However, Alexis Mac Allister looks a doubtful starter after picking up an injury in Liverpool’s game against Crystal Palace in the English Premier League.
World Cup 2022 and Copa America 2024 winners Argentina continue their reign at the top spot in the FIFA Men’s football rankings while Venezuela are in the 40th spot as per FIFA’s latest list.
The Venezuela vs Argentina head-to-head record is heavily loaded in favour of the Argentines, who have won 24 of the total 28 matches, including a 3-0 win in their last encounter against Venezuela in the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.
Venezuela, meanwhile, have won two games with their last win over Argentina coming in 2019 in an international friendly. Two matches have ended in draws.
Live streaming of the Venezuela vs Argentina FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifier match will be available on the FanCode app and website in India.
There will not be any live telecast of the Venezuela vs Argentina FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifier match on any TV channel in India.
