Argentina vs Uruguay Predictions

• Four of the last five meetings between these nations have produced under 2.5 goals.
• Under 2.5 goals have been scored in 11 of Uruguay’s last 12 internationals.
• Three of Argentina’s four home qualifiers have also generated less than three goals.

Sides set for another close battle

Argentina are understandably favourites for Sunday’s World Cup Qualifying clash against Uruguay as they seek to maintain their 23 match unbeaten streak, though under 2.5 goals looks a far more appealing wager at a similar price to the hosts in the 1X2 market.

La Albiceleste edged out the Uruguayans 1-0 in the Copa America during the summer and are unbeaten in their last five encounters with La Celeste (W3, D2). Nevertheless, the recent meetings between these nations have all been extremely tight, with four of them producing under 2.5 goals.

While the continental champions are clearly emerging as a serious force to be reckoned with, they have drawn four of their nine qualifiers and face a Uruguay outfit here who have lost just one of their last 11 internationals in 90 minutes (W4, D6).

Goals at a premium again

The 8/13 for an Argentina triumph is a little on the short side as a result, but under 2.5 goals is priced up fairly generously at 4/6 based on these sides’ recent skirmishes and Uruguay’s last dozen starts, with all but one generating less than three goals.

In terms of our correct score prediction, both sides played out goalless stalemates during the week and they could be set for the same in Buenos Aires this Monday. As outlined, both nations have been draw heavy over the past 12 months or so and a point apiece would undoubtedly satisfy the coaches based on where their teams are sitting in the CONMEBOL standings.
