Key Players to Watch in Brazil vs Uruguay
Vinicius Junior (Brazil)
The star Real Madrid winger is not having a good time at all. In the past few days, first, he missed the Ballon d’Or, previously he lost the El Clasico, now his penalty miss in the last game against Venezuela cost Brazil a loss of two points. He should be pumped up to turn things around and show why he is regarded as one of the best in his generation.
For the Brazil national team, he never really clicked well. He went poorly in the recently concluded Copa America, and to date has only five international goals for the senior team. He needs to show his calibre and prove his stature in the national team. Otherwise, someone else from the football talent rich Brazil camps will take his place.
Darwin Núñez (Uruguay)
The Liverpool striker has been a real beast while representing Uruguay. He has 13 goals and three assists in 32 international games for the senior team. However, he hasn’t found the back of the net in the last seven games. So, now a goal against Brazil would surely boost his chances of going back to scoring frequently. Nunez should look at keeping shots on target and penetrating the defense, the rest will happen.
Brazil vs Uruguay Prediction
The Brazil national football team are expected to win this game, as they have home support in their favour. And, the stadium atmosphere, especially fans play a big part in these high-voltage clashes. Other factors also affect the games, like a good side, and form. The form is in favour of Uruguay, but Brazil have a good run too. Side wise, both teams are good, so a tough game is expected. Expectations of cards won’t be bad either.
Predicted Score: Brazil 2-1 Uruguay
