Venezuela Women vs Nicaragua Women: match preview on 13 September 2026

Venezuela Women are clear favourites against Nicaragua Women on 13 September 2026.

Venezuela have won two of their last five games, though they have also lost three, including a 0:3 defeat away to Puerto Rico on 11 September 2026. Their home record is stronger — they beat Peru 3:2 and Trinidad and Tobago 3:0 on home soil in August 2025. They have scored 7 goals and conceded 11 across those five matches.

Nicaragua Women have lost all five of their recent matches, going back to August 2022. They have scored just 2 goals and conceded 15, with four of those five defeats ending 0:3. Their most recent outing was another 0:3 loss to the Dominican Republic on 11 September 2026, also away from home. The pattern is stark — they struggle to score and tend to concede heavily.

Both teams sit level on 0 points after one match each in the Pan-American Cup Women standings, with Venezuela in 4th place and Nicaragua Women in 5th. The disparity in their recent form suggests Venezuela should be able to exploit Nicaragua's defensive frailties, particularly if they can maintain the pressure from the opening minutes.

This outcome would not hold if Nicaragua Women can adopt a deep defensive block and frustrate Venezuela's attacking rhythm, or if the hosts fail to convert their chances as they have in recent away matches. A draw would suit the visitors given how they tend to run the clock down.
