After a shaky start, Brazil currently sits in fourth place among the 10 CONMEBOL teams vying for spots at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Seleção earned 16 points through its first 10 matches and capped off the October international break with victories over Chile and Peru.
Dorival Júnior's side is now gearing up to face Venezuela, a team that has not won a match since June. La Vinotinto poses a larger threat than some might expect, though; the hosts managed draws against both Uruguay and Argentina, two sides that defeated Brazil in 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifying matches.
Venezuela head coach Fernando 'Bocha' Batista has called up Always Ready's Alain Baroja ahead of Aguilas Doradas goalkeeper Jose David Contreras, although Rafael Romo is expected to retain his place between the sticks.
The Argentine boss has also recalled Eric Ramirez, who plays his football in Argentina with Tigre, and Jhon Murillo from Mexican side Atlas.
CF Montreal striker Josef Martinez hasn't been a part of Venezuela's last two squads and continues to be sidelined by Bocha, while Universidad Catolica's Jhon Chancellor and Parma's Yordan Osorio remain injured and unavailable for selection.
National team stalwarts Alexander Gonzalez (Emelec), Tomas Rincon (Santos) and Salomon Rondon (Pachuca) have all been selected for Venezuela's November qualifiers with Brazil and Chile.
