Uruguay vs Brazil Prediction and Betting Tips | 17th October 2023

The CONMBEL qualifiers return to the fold with another round of matches this week as Brazil lock horns with an impressive Uruguay side in an important encounter at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo on Tuesday.

Uruguay vs Brazil Preview

Uruguay are currently in fourth place in the CONMEBOL qualification standings and have been fairly impressive over the past year. The home side played out a 2-2 draw against Colombia last week and will need to take it up a notch in this match.

Brazil, on the other hand, are in second place in the table at the moment and have stepped up to the plate in recent weeks. The Selecao were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Venezuela in their previous game and have a point to prove this week.

Uruguay vs Brazil Prediction

Brazil have an impressive squad at their disposal and will be intent on bouncing back from their poor result against Venezuela. The likes of Vinicius Junior and Neymar can be lethal on their day and will look to make their mark in this fixture.

Uruguay have also struggled to impose themselves in recent months but have shown marked improvement in the final third under Marcelo Bielsa. Brazil are the better team on paper, however, and hold the upper hand going into this game.

Prediction: Uruguay 1-2 Brazil
