Uruguay – Brazil Picks & Prediction
Uruguay - Brazil Prediction, Picks and Tips
It is the top game of the fourth match day in the South American qualification for the 2022 World Cup: On November 18 at midnight German time, the previously undefeated leaders Brazil will be playing fourth-placed Uruguay.
Three games, three wins: Brazil started the qualifying strong as a bear, so Uruguay is currently in the thick of South America's shape. Uruguay's national team picked up three extremely important points in the away game in Colombia just in time for the great game against the Seleção.
Thanks to the six points that Uruguay has on the account, you can now go into the game with less pressure, and the betting odds of the bookmakers have also adjusted after the win in Colombia.
If you look at it, you see that they are extremely balanced, you are looking for a favorite at Uruguay vs. Brazil in vain. A prognosis on the tip draw is therefore advisable and is anything but absurd.

Uruguay landed a big point at the weekend before the difficult home game against their feared opponents: With a 3-0 win in Colombia, Uruguay secured three important points and jumped to fourth place. It was the right reaction after the weak performance in Ecuador, where they surprisingly lost 2: 4 and in the meantime were even 0: 4 behind.
The opening game in the qualifying was won 2-1 against Chile - including the winning goal in stoppage time. Three games, two wins - the table situation looks good again for the Celeste; the pressure that the team would have had from a possible bankruptcy in Colombia is gone before the duel with Brazil.
In Colombia, the team of veteran coach Oscar Tabarez presented itself extremely efficiently, making three goals out of six shots on goal - with just 37 percent possession.
Edinson Cavani put the guests in the lead after just five minutes. In the period after the break, when Colombia inflamed the greatest pressure on equalization, Luis Suarez scored the decisive 2-0 more or less out of nowhere, which pulled the plug on the cafeteros.
With this goal, Suarez increased his scoring in World Cup qualifiers to 25 - the historic record in South America, no player has scored more goals for a country in the history of the 'Eliminatorias'.
So far, Suarez has scored four goals in three games of the current qualification - all four he scored with a penalty. Will the star striker also score a goal against Brazil?
The Uruguayans can draw level on points with the Seleção with a win on Wednesday - although the latter started the qualifying perfectly with three wins from three games.
However, unlike Uruguay, for example, Brazil also had a rather easy start to qualifying for the World Cup, as without exception they met teams that were not considered favorites for the four places that qualify for participation in the World Cup.
So there was a relaxed 5-0 at home against underdog Bolivia, the weakest team in South America for years. A 4: 2 succeeded in Peru, before there was an unadorned 1: 0 mandatory victory against an extremely defensive Venezuela last weekend. Here, with 75 percent possession, Brazil once again had no problems with the honest opponent.
That should and should change on Wednesday, because a look at the betting providers makes it clear before Uruguay vs. Brazil that the odds predict a game on par.
A small reason why the odds on Brazil are so high could be due to Neymar's absence, the PSG superstar is still injured. Most recently he was represented by Roberto Firmino, who does not have a good phase at Liverpool, but scored the goal of the day against Venezuela.
