Match Time & Date:
18 October 2023
01:00
Prediction: 1-1
Brazil
There will be fireworks when Uruguay and Brazil square off against each other at Estadio Centenario in a highly-anticipated World Cup qualifier. La Celeste have been having their ups and downs in the process, with the team beating Chile, losing to Ecuador, while sharing the spoils with Colombia thanks to Darwin Nunez’s late goal from the penalty spot. Napoli defender Mathias Olivera should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the 2-2 draw with los Cafeteros, while both Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani have been omitted.
The Selecao, on the other hand, played out a slim 1-1 draw with Venezuela in their last group game. As the South American giants have been struggling to find their best form under Fernando Diniz, we predict that Uruguay are going to grab something from the match. Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus is pushing for a start, while Juventus defender Danilo misses out with injury.
