Why Bet on Uruguay?
Uruguay is one of the best teams in the continent and this Copa América has proved it. Already in the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, they have been showing very positive things, such as the victory in Buenos Aires against Argentina, and here in the United States, they have confirmed it.
Marcelo Bielsa’s team beat Panama 3-1, Bolivia 5-0 and the United States 1-0. The only goal they conceded came from Panamanian defender Michael Murillo in the last play. Otherwise, they have been machines, although it is also true that their first two opponents were not very strong, and they struggled against the Americans.
The most positive news this week was that midfielder Maxi Araújo, who was out with a heavy blow in the last game, has no injuries, and it seems that he would have no problem playing on Saturday. The Toluca midfielder is the best player on the team, scoring two goals and assisting another.
We must also highlight Darwin Núñez, who is another of those players who transformed himself into the national team. He scored in the first two games, and now, against the United States, he cut short a streak of seven games scoring with the Charrúas.
It is a team that shoots a lot in matches. It has an average of 16.7 shots per game, seven of which are on goal.
Why Bet on Brazil?
Brazil is a team that cannot be considered dead. Much has been said about this generation, which is not as scary as the previous ones, but players like Vinicius, Rodrygo, or Paqueta are elite and alone can win a match.
However, there is the main casualty: Vini Jr. The Real Madrid player, the star of this team, received his second yellow card and will not be able to play in the quarterfinals. Undoubtedly, this will be a big loss for Dorival Júnior, who will probably try to make up for it with Endrick or Gabriel Martinelli.
In the group stage, they had a hard time, especially after that goalless draw in the first game against Costa Rica, which gave them a lot to talk about. Criticism was already there, but after that, it increased.
Against Paraguay, it was hard for them to open the scoreboard but they finally did it and won easily 4-1. In the tie against Colombia, they had some passages of good play but their rival came closer and had better opportunities.
Surelythat last match was useful as preparation, as they will have a similar game against Uruguay, very physical, with fouls and blows.
Final Betting Analysis: Uruguay vs. Brazil
The last time they met was on October 17 last year in Montevideo for the World Cup qualifiers and Uruguay won 2-0 with goals from Nicolás de la Cruz and Darwin Núñez.
In Copa América they have played each other 26 times, each won on nine opportunities and drew the other eight, the last one being in the 2007 semifinals, where they tied 2-2 and Brazil won on penalties.
The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Brazil as the favorite. Their Moneyline shows 2.75, Uruguay has 2.91, and the draw is at 3.08.
Great game. It will be a match not to be missed and watched on a giant screen. Two great teams that want the title face each other. It will be a very tough match, but the absence of Vinicius will cost Brazil a lot and Uruguay will take the victory. We’ll go for a 2-1.
Go for a win for Uruguay. If you bet $100 at 2.91, you will gain $191 for a total payout of $291.
