Colombia vs Uruguay Predictions

• Four of Uruguay’s last five games have gone over 2.5 goals
• Colombia are unbeaten in their last 13 matches
• Darwin Nunez has three goals in his last five league games

Big hitters clash in Barranquilla

The 2026 World Cup may feel a long way away but South American sides are already two games into their qualifying for the finals, which will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Two of the continent’s top sides, Colombia and Uruguay, face off in Barranquilla tonight as they aim to lay down an early marker to the rest of their competitors.

Hosts Colombia edged Venezuela 1-0 in their first qualifier before drawing 0-0 with Chile last time out.

Goals could be on the cards

La Tricolor have gone four games without conceding but face a tough challenge against a Uruguay side led by Marcelo Bielsa, who has guided his new team to three wins and a defeat from four matches in charge.

The former Leeds manager has implemented his typical attacking brand of football and they have netted ten times in four games.

However they did suffer a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Ecuador last time out.

In fact, four of the visitors’ last five matches have gone over 2.5 goals and that looks the value selection in this matchup, thanks to Bielsa’s attacking style of play.

Darwin Nunez is yet to find the net under Bielsa but after taking over the attacking responsibilities from Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani, it looks a matter of time.

The 24-year-old has three goals in his last five league games and is a tempting price to breach the Colombian defence.

Correct score backers should consider a 2-2 draw with three of the last four meetings between these two ending in stalemate.
