United States vs Uruguay Preview & Picks

The United States are tipped to lose this massive Copa America clash.

The USA just suffered an embarrassing loss, while Uruguay enter this matchup on the back of a commanding win that all but secured a place in the knockout stage.

  • Uruguay have won their last 3 matches
  • USA have lost 4 of their last 7 games
  • Both teams have scored in 4 of USA's last 6 games
  • There has been over 2.5 goals in 4 of Uruguay's last 5 games

Head To Head

  • The all-time series is tied 1-1 with 2 draws
  • The two teams drew 0-0 when they last met in June 2022

United States Form

The USA's hopes of progressing to the knockout phase suffered a major setback after a shock defeat to Panama on Thursday. 

Tim Weah's early dismissal proved pivotal as the hosts, despite taking an early lead, were eventually beaten 2-1 with Panama striking late in the second half. 

The Stars and Stripes must now match Panama´s result against Bolivia if they are to qualify for the quarter-final stage. 

Inconsistency has been the biggest issue for the USA in the past 12 months. Gregg Berhalter's side won seven but lost six of their last 15 internationals since June last year. 

Uruguay Form

Uruguay all but secured their place in the Copa America quarter-finals with an impressive 5-0 demolition of Bolivia. 

An on-fire Darwin Nunez was again on the scoresheet, as he took his tally to 10 goals in seven appearances for La Celeste since last October. 

Marcelo Bielsa's men top the section after a similarly comfortable 3-1 win against Panama on matchday one. 

Only an unlikely combination of a Uruguayan defeat, a Panama win against Bolivia and a significant goal swing of eight would see them eliminated from the tournament.

The 15-time Copa America champions are in great form, securing six wins while losing just one of their last nine internationals. 

Bielsa's side also bagged a total of 12 goals in their three most recent victories against Mexico (4-0), Panama (3-1) and Bolivia (5-0). 

Verdict

Uruguay can make sure of qualification with another win this weekend.

I fancy La Celeste to claim the points, in a game where both teams can score.
