Brazil - Uruguay: Tips, prognosis & odds - 14.10.2021 - SOUTH AMERICA: World Cup - Qualification

 

Can the Celeste annoy the sovereign Selecao?

Head coach Tite's team lost the white vest in the tenth qualifying game and had to be content with a goalless draw against Los Cafeteros. At the end of the October triplet, the five-time world champion has home rights again. Brazil and Uruguay face each other in Manaus.

Mathematically, Brazil has not yet fixed the World Cup ticket, but there are no longer any doubts. The Selecao is in excellent shape and has recently rushed from victory to victory. After the first loss of points against Colombia, another victory should follow. In the game between Brazil and Uruguay, betting odds in the range of 1.50 are offered for this tip.

Uruguay has also been one of the top teams in South American football in recent years, but not only is the coach of the Tabarez-Elf at an advanced age, but the team is slowly but surely above its zenith. The clear favorite role is therefore absolutely understandable. The start of the game in the Arena de Amazonia is Central European from Thursday to Friday at 2:30 a.m.
Time.

Brazil - statistics & current form


After the disappointing World Cup in 2016, Tite took over the Selecao and breathed new life into it. The Brazilian national team has now played 65 international matches under its wing and can look back on an excellent average of 2.43 points per game. Outstanding numbers - and yet one flaw remains, because Neymar & Co were only able to celebrate winning the Copa America in 2019. This year there was a bitter defeat against arch-rivals Argentina in the final.

Outstanding defense

For many decades, Brazil has always had exceptional talent on the offensive. With Neymar, Tite can also rely on an absolutely exceptional talent who is always very ambitious in the national team. 138 goals were scored in 65 international matches, an average of just over two goals per game. A passable value, but the defensive is absolutely outstanding.

Because no matter whether Alisson from Liverpool FC or Ederson from Manchester City is in the goal, the box is usually kept clean. The Selecao had to accept just 26 goals in the Tite era. In this regard, with Brazilian internationals there are often bets that the Seelcao will manage a "to zero victory".

Seven out of eight games ended with an under 2.5

A strong offensive, which, however, rarely ignites a peat festival and an outstanding defensive result in a clear tendency towards the under 2.5. Seven of the last eight international matches ended with a maximum of two goals. The only exception was the 3-1 win in Venezuela. Between Brazil and Uruguay, odds of over 2.00 are currently offered for the over 2.5. Quite understandable, even though these betting odds have value.

Uruguay's defense is getting on in years and has already revealed major problems against the gauchos. Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani are also at the end of their careers, but still know how to convince with their goal threat. Despite the strong Brazilian defense, a goal would not be a surprise.

In addition, after the first loss of points and the loss of the pure white vest, the tension may decrease a little in Brazil, because the World Cup ticket is more or less fixed. So there could be one or the other rotation in the camp of the Tite-Elf.

Uruguay - statistics & current form

In the second game of the current course, the two-time world champion conceded a clear 3-0 rebuff from the Albiceleste. A well-deserved defeat, but one that didn't have too much of an impact. Because all five teams between third and seventh place missed a victory on the eleventh qualifying match day. This will make the race for the four direct World Cup tickets even more open. According to the current state of affairs, the team of long-term coach Oscar Tabarez should cheer, Uruguay remains in fourth place.

A team above the zenith

So Celeste is still far from having the World Cup ticket in its pocket and the upcoming internationals will be of great importance accordingly. All in all, with the two-time world champion, it must be frankly admitted that the team is getting on in years. The callousness and scoring danger of a Suarez or Cavani still helps in individual situations, but in the past the duo went extremely long ways and worked a lot for the team. The passage of time cannot be denied and Suarez and Cavani increasingly need the balls in the front third to be dangerous.

But the defense is also getting on in years with Diego Godin and Fernando Muslera (both 35) as well as Martin Caceres (34) and Sebastian Coates (31). The upcoming World Cup, if the qualification succeeds, could possibly be one of the last participations for a long time. The next generation can currently not build on the existing capabilities. A point win in Manaus would therefore be a big surprise and this tip is by no means recommended between Brazil and Uruguay.

Just an away win

The outsider role is also underlined by the existing away statistics. The Tabarez-Elf doesn't necessarily feel at home outside the country's borders. In the current qualification only the game in Colombia (3-0) could be made victorious. A defeat in Ecuador and at the weekend in Argentina and a draw in Venezuela and Peru are on the opposite side.

Expected formation of Uruguay:

Muslera - Vina, Godin, Coates, Araujo, Nandez - Rodriguez, Vecino, Valverde, de la Cruz - Luis Suarez

Brazil - Uruguay head-to-head comparison

For the twelfth time, the two former world champions face each other in the World Cup qualification. The Celeste from Uruguay did not have much reason to laugh at the sugar loaf eleven so far. Uruguay celebrated a victory only once (qualification for the 2002 World Cup), in the ten remaining games there were five Brazilian wins and five draws. The Tite-Elf won the first leg 2-0.

Free soccer picks

In a direct comparison, Brazil is also ahead of the competition across all competitions, but Uruguay was able to cheer far more often. The two-time world champion celebrated 20 victories in 77 international matches, and Brazil celebrated 37 times.

Betting base forecast & Brazil Brazil - Uruguay Uruguay tip

The home side can already use the remaining qualifying matches to carry out certain experiments. The World Cup ticket is mathematically still to be taken by Brazil, but by no means realistic. Head coach Tite may give one or two European legionnaires a break on Thursday night. Nevertheless, a forecast on the guests between Brazil and Uruguay is far too risky.

Free soccer predictions

The guests are by no means in good shape and have not scored their own goals in the last two international matches. Uruguay still has a well-known offensive at its disposal. Despite the two games without a goal between Brazil and Uruguay, our forecast is based on at least one goal by both teams. The home side are not expected with ultimate consistency and concentration, so there should definitely be opportunities. Suarez & Co can therefore at least be expected to score a goal, odds of up to 2.30 seem a bit too high here.
