England vs Uruguay prediction

The German coach has confirmed that 11 key first teamers, including the likes of Declan Rice and Harry Kane, will not be involved but it remains a star studded Three Lions squad with competition for squad places this summer hotting up. 

The early days of the Marcelo Bielsa reign of Uruguay were fun and impressive. However, the two-time world champions have dipped in the last twelve months and could do with rediscovering a spark ahead of this summer. 

International friendlies can often become quite disjointed and, with so many experiments to be had for both coaches, there may be a lack of cohesion for both sides, leading to a low scoring encounter.
