Brazil vs. Uruguay Preview and Free Picks

Two of the most important countries in Conmebol will face off, as Brazil, aiming to climb further in the standings, takes on a Uruguay side facing heavy criticism for recent performances.

Brazil recently drew 1-1 with Venezuela on the road. Their only goal came from winger Raphinha.

Uruguay is one of South America’s strongest teams, but their current form is negative, with more draws and losses than wins. This has led to growing criticism of Marcelo Bielsa.

Why bet on Brazil?

There’s no doubt that Brazil has something to prove, as their recent performance has fallen short of expectations given their roster of stars. However, under Dorival Junior, the team has shown improvement in recent games.

The only downside was the 1-1 away draw against Venezuela, a team Brazil was unable to defeat in the current qualifiers.

It was the right time for a turnaround, especially after Tite’s departure following the 2022 World Cup, which left a void. Fernando Diniz’s interim stint was a disaster, and Dorival’s start didn’t look promising either, especially with Brazil’s early exit in the last Copa América.

Without Neymar, the team lost significant offensive power, and the bad news for the Canarinha is that he was injured again upon returning to official competition with Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia.

Now, hope rests on Vinícius Jr. showcasing the Real Madrid quality in his national team, which has been inconsistent. Raphinha is the other leader, one who has delivered results recently both for Brazil and his club.

One important factor to note is that Brazil holds an undefeated home record against Uruguay in the World Cup Qualifiers, as they have never lost at home to this rival in qualifying.

Por que apostar no Uruguai?

Uruguay began the Qualifiers with impressive momentum, largely attributed to the arrival of Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa. However, what once seemed positive is now overshadowed by heavy criticism and calls for the coach’s departure.

The situation reached a critical point with revelations from Luis Suárez, who has since retired from the national team, alleging that Bielsa mistreated players. This controversy has cast a shadow over the team, even after their third-place finish in the last Copa América failed to bring stability.

The performance of the Celeste has dropped significantly, as has the form of several key players like Giorgian De Arrascaeta, Nicolás De La Cruz, and Darwin Núñez, who initially appeared poised to lead under Bielsa’s tenure.

Moreover, Uruguay has struggled to achieve strong results away from home. Despite victories over Argentina and a draw with Colombia, they have lost to Ecuador, drawn with Venezuela, and recently suffered a defeat to one of the continent’s weakest teams, Peru.

If Bielsa fails to deliver good results in these Qualifier rounds, rumors of his departure are likely to intensify.

De La Cruz, De Arrascaeta, Ronald Araújo, and Matías Viña are Uruguay’s most notable absences.

Uruguay is going through a challenging period under Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa, and it seems that the results may ultimately lead to his departure in the near future. In Brazil, they won’t be able to bounce back, and the victory will go to the Canarinha, bringing them very close to World Cup qualification. Vá para um 2-1.
