Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
Estadio Nacional Julio Martinez Pradanos will be the centre of attention when Chile and Uruguay lock horns in Wednesday’s World Cup qualifier. La Roja aim to make amends for an unsuccessful WC qualifying campaign and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field against La Celeste. Defender Francisco Sierralta is back from suspension, whereas Sao Paulo forward Gonzalo Tapia is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in a 3-0 loss to Brazil.
Uruguay, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Venezuela and Peru. As Uruguay have already sealed their spot at the next year’s showpiece tournament, we believe that they should be happy with one point from the Santiago de Chile clash. The good news for the visiting team is that former Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is back from suspension. Real Oviedo forward Federico Vinas is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the 3-0 win over Peru.
Highlighted Team (Uruguay):

La Celeste are one of the most successful South American nations. Uruguay are frequently the champions of the continent having most recently won the tournament in 2011. They have won the Copa America a record 15 times including the first ever edition of the competition in 1916, while the team has also won FIFA World Cup in two occasions including the inaugural competition in 1930 when they defeated Argentina 4-2 in the final as hosts.
Their second World Cup title came in 1950 when Uruguay and Brazil played a legendary match which recorded a higher attendance than any other football match in the history of the game. Uruguay is the smallest country in the world to have won a World Cup by population, but La Celeste are proud of their football heritage which yielded some of the best footballers in the world over the course of history.
Most notable player of the current selection is Barcelona striker Luis Suarez, who is also the team’s top scorer with 45 goals to his name.
