By far the creme de la creme of the quarter-final programme of Copa America this is a game that many are expecting. Uruguay and Brazil are among the favourites to win the tournament and it will be a shame to see one of them leave, but such is life. What is guaranteed for sure is that
Uruguay Team News
There is real buzz among Uruguay fans that this could be their year, the year in which they win Copa America. And they have a good reason to be excited as well – La Celeste is playing some good football and is in splendid form. Four wins in their last 4 fixtures, 13 goals scored and just one conceded. All of this comes in the most important of times – during the knockout phase of Copa America. If omens are to be believed – in 1995 Uruguay managed to again top their group and then went on to win the tournament altogether. Whether they can repeat this feat remains to be seen.
Brazil Team News
Whenever Brazil is involved in the mix they can always be expected to be in a good position. This is a country that has produced so many talents and has access to multiple generational talents While things have not always gone their way, Brazil is always among the top teams worldwide and are favourite for any tournament they participate in. And even if their recent form under Dorival Junior has been underwhelming and many have called for his resignation, Brazil is still undefeated in their last 7 fixtures, But wins are also hard to come by as there have been just 3 for Seleção in that period.
Head-to-Head-Games
Brazil have an advantage in the head-to-head with Uruguay – 4 wins for Seleção versus one for La Celeste. Two of Brazil’s wins were 4-1 and the other 2 with smaller results. In fact, Brazil has just one loss in the last 13 head-to-head fixtures with Uruguay.
Uruguay – Brazil Betting Prediction
Given the recent form of Uruguay and Darwin Nunez, I expect them to score here. Uruguay has been playing some good football recently and seems capable scorers. Brazil, while somewhat underwhelming is also a team that always has s trick up their sleeve in attack, albeit their defending has been suspect. That is why I expect both teams to score here in a game that will most certainly be a good one to watch.
