Argentina vs Uruguay prediction
FIFA World Cup 2026 runners-up got back in action with a 4-0 hammering of Bolivia last month. That was backed up by a 7-0 victory over a depleted and weakened Burkina Faso side before a 3-0 defeat of Benin in Lionel Messi’s farewell match.
Uruguay, now under the management of Diego Forlan after the departure of Marcelo Bielsa following a poor FIFA World Cup campaign, showed improvement last month, recovering from a 3-1 loss to Japan with a 4-1 defeat of Korea Republic and a 6-1 victory over India.
The Uruguayans will take confidence from a bit more enterprise in the final third but they remained defensively vulnerable and the Argentines remain firm favourites.
Argentina vs Uruguay tip: Argentina to win & both teams to score
