Panama - Venezuela Prediction, Picks and Tips
It will be the first match of Panama after his World Cup adventure in which he only knew of defeats, scoring 2 goals and receiving 11. The end of this bittersweet experience brought with it the departure of DT 'Bolillo' Gómez as well as the retirement of the veteran goal-scorers Blas Pérez, Luis Tejada, goalkeeper Penedo and defender Felipe Baloy. Now they are directed by the English Gary Stempel and in whose first call they appear several young people, led by the central Roman Torres. With their squad they played 6 friendlies this year and only scored one goal.
Meanwhile, Venezuela traveled to Panamanian lands without Josef Martinez, figure and scorer of the MLS. It is also likely that coach Rafael Dudamel will practice some variations with respect to the eleven that fell to Colombia last Friday in Miami (2-1). Even so, the 'vinotinto' has a more cohesive team and comes better worked despite returning to international activity after almost a year (they did not play as a selection since November 2017).
They tied the last two occasions they met: 0-0 (2016) and 1-1 (2015). Rolando Blackburn, current Bolivian league gunner, has only 4 goals with the Panamanian team, the last against Venezuela in 2015. Against Colombia, Venezuela went to the halftime winning 1-0. The changes in the complement reduced power.
