Uruguay vs. Brazil Predictions

Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Uruguay vs. Brazil at Copa America 2024

Where: Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, USA
When: Sunday, July 7, 09:00 AM

The Uruguayan team has been excellent at this 2024 Copa America, and for the moment, it has shown the most of all participants. On the other hand, Brazil disappointed, playing below expectations. Sure, a win here would change everything, but the Selecao faces several problems, one being poor chemistry and the other Vinicius’ absence. His recklessness and ego once again hurt Brazil, and Ronaldinho’s comments on him and this unit seem right.

Uruguay vs. Brazil Preview

Uruguay

Even Marcelo Bielsa’s suspension couldn’t slot down Uruguay against the United States, with the two-time World champs beating the hosts and eliminating them from the tournament. The Yankees were furious over the officiating, but overall, they weren’t better than La Celeste.

Darwin and the boys netted nine goals, and besides a 1-0 win over the USA, they were better than Panama, 3-1, and Bolivia, 5-1. The unit has one loss in the last 11 appearances, with three ties and six victories.

The more important thing is four straight triumphs, three of them with a clean sheet. All eyes are on the attack, yet just a few noticed that this team has a rock-solid backline.

Brazil

Ronaldinho was pretty brutal in calling out this team before the start of the tournament, and many believe that the former Ballon d’Or winner had stepped out of the line. For the time being, he was 100% correct. Selecao struggles to deliver, and that’s mostly because of the egoistic group of players it contains.

Vinicius knew he had a yellow card but got another one anyway, so he won’t play against Uruguay. Apart from his burst against Paraguay, 4-1, where he scored twice, we didn’t see anything from Brazil’s striker, as well as from Selecao in general.

The team has won one of the last five competitive events and delivered just two clean sheets over the last 11 events. That’s why Vini’s absence is so big of a deal, with Brazil covering up the defensive problems with its potent attack.

Uruguay vs Brazil Head to Head

We don’t need to say too much about the rivalry between these two teams. Its history is so complex, and that’s why we are going to focus on the recent meetings. The latest was in October 2023, with Uruguay beating Brazil at home, 2-0 in the World Cup qualifiers.

Prior to that, Brazil had four straight successes and had not lost to this rival for 13 in a row.

Uruguay vs. Brazil Predictions

This is a nice chance for Uruguay to not only reach the semis but also hurt its old rivals once more. They had a pretty rough streak in recent years against Selecao, who isn’t in such good shape now, while on the other side, La Celeste looks much better. Betting on Uruguay is risky, yet we believe this pick has a massive value, given the current circumstances. So, to sum up everything, our final decision is for Uruguay to triumph.

Our verdict: Uruguay wins
