USA vs Uruguay Preview
Uruguay are at the top of Group C in the UEFA Euro 2024 standings and have been in exceptional form this season. La Celeste thrashed Bolivia by a comprehensive 5-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
The USA, on the other hand, are in second place in their group and have stepped up to the plate over the past year. The North American outfit slumped to a damaging 2-1 defeat at the hands of Panama last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
