Prediction: 0-0
Colombia
Uruguay and Colombia square off against each other at Estadio Centenario in what is expected to be a close World Cup qualifier. La Celeste are eyeing their first win of the process since November 21, 2023 and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against los Cafeteros. Both Manuel Ugarte and Mathias Olivera have recovered from their respective injuries, with star players Federico Valverde (Real Madrid) and Darwin Nunez (Liverpool) making the cut as well. Luis Suarez has retired from international football.
The visitors, on the other hand, are eager to retain second place in the standings. As Colombia are likely to adopt a cautious approach in Saturday’s encounter, we are tempted to place our bets on under 2.5 goals. All Luis Sinisterra, Yaser Asprilla, and Jefferson Lerma have been ruled out with injuries for the away team, while Cucho Hernandez has been omitted. Anyhow, a low-scoring affair is on the cards in Montevideo.
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.
