Uruguay vs Brazil Predictions

• Six of Uruguay’s seven games in 2023 have seen both teams score
• Brazil have found the net in nine of their last 10 World Cup qualifiers
• Four of the last five competitive meetings between these two have seen both teams score

Mistep is a concern for Brazil

Brazil head to Uruguay on Tuesday night aiming to return to form after dropping two points last week. The five-time world champions saw their perfect start come to an end in a 1-1 draw at home to Venezuela, which their fans didn’t take too kindly to.

With at least six South American sides making the 2026 World Cup, there’s little jeopardy in terms of qualifying for Brazil. However, interim coach Fernando Diniz is making a name for himself with his radical tactical approach. He and the Brazilian supporters will expect a response against Uruguay.

Another high-scoring clash for hosts

Uruguay have put themselves in the mix to make the World Cup with four points from their opening three games, which kicked off with a 3-1 victory over Chile at home. The hosts have had a high-scoring year following a disappointing World Cup, with both teams scoring in six of their seven matches in 2023.

Uruguay’s only clean sheet this year has come against Cuba, while they’ve shipped four goals across their three qualifiers so far. With five of Brazil’s last six games seeing both teams score, a repeat is the standout bet for this clash in Montevideo.
