Football Bet of the Day: Goals paradise in Valparaiso

"Since the then world champions Spain administered a 5-0 walloping in early 2012, Venezuela have scored at least once in 21/27 matches, including 8/10 since Chita Sanvicente took charge"

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 2.47/5 in Peru v Venezuela

Copa America's Group C is wide open and Tobias Gourlay expects Peru and Venezuela to leave nothing in their lockers as they go all out for a place in the knockout stages

Peru v Venezuela
Friday 00:30
(Live on Premier Sports)

Brazil 0 Colombia 1 in Santiago last night. We're ready to headbutt someone too. Or maybe just push them over from behind. That's probably more our style, Carlos.

A shock last night, then, and we're emboldened to go against the odds in Valparaiso.

In World Cup 2014 qualifying, Venezuela went to Peru and lost 2-1, then Peru went to Venezuela and lost 3-2. We fancy more goals when they clash in Chile tonight.

Since the then world champions Spain administered a 5-0 walloping in early 2012, Venezuela have scored at least once in 21/27 matches, including 8/10 since Chita Sanvicente took charge. Eight of those 10 games also delivered Over 2.5 Goals in total.

Having surprisingly beaten Colombia in their opening game, Venezuela have an opportunity to seize control of Group C and shouldn't pass up the opportunity to go for broke against the group's weakest side.

Peru might be weak, but they have at least scored in 8/10 matches. Half of those games have delivered Over 2.5 Goals and, with Venezuela's help tonight, we think they can upset the odds and get over the goals line once more.
