Uruguay vs Brazil Predictions

• Brazil have seen both teams score in five of their last six
• Uruguay scored nine goals in the group stage
• Darwin Nunuez has scored 10 goals in his last eight games for Uruguay
• Brazil have kept three clean sheets in their last 19 games

Nunez to send Uruguay through

Uruguay breezed into the last eight of the Copa America, winning all three of their games. They scored nine times across those victories, marking themselves out as real contenders to challenge Argentina for this competition.

Brazil are struggling for form, having won just once across their last four games. They have an impressive squad, but draws against the USA, Costa Rica and Colombia are a concern. The Selecao have seen both teams score in five of their last six games, while they’ve produced just three clean sheets in 19 matches.

Brazil have enough going forward to trouble Uruguay, who didn’t have a lot of tests in the previous round. However, Uruguay have made a brilliant start in World Cup qualifying too, which included a win over Brazil in October. Their winning start can continue with a 2-1 victory, with both teams to score the standout selection.

Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez is in excellent form for his country, scoring 10 goals across his last eight matches. He netted in that win over Brazil and he can build on a bright start in this competition with another goal.
