Command Analysis

Uruguay

Current form
In the previous round of World Cup qualifying, Uruguay drew 1-1 with Brazil. The result, of course, is not bad, but in general, the national team is not playing its best season right now – there were no wins in five of the six qualifying matches. We managed to win only against Colombia on our own field in this segment (3:2). Nevertheless, due to their successful performance in the opening rounds, Marcelo Bielsa's team is in second position in the table after 12 rounds, having scored 20 points. The gap from the leading national team of Argentina is five points, but Ecuador and Colombia are one point behind. It should be noted that in this qualifying round, the Uruguayans look powerful in attack, scoring 17 goals, more than only Argentina (21).
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no significant losses in the squad on the eve of the qualifying game for the Uruguay national team.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of the last four face-to-face confrontations, Uruguay lost to Argentina.
- In four of the previous five matches involving the Uruguayans, a draw was recorded in the first half.
The approximate line–up: Sergio Rochette – Guillermo Varela, Jose Maria Jimenez, Matias Olivera, Marcelo Saracci - Federico Valverde, Manuel Ugarte, Rodrigo Bentancourt – Facundo Pelleestri, Darwin Nunez, Maximiliano Araujo.

Argentina

Current form
Argentina had a strong start to the selection process, after which it noticeably slowed down. In the last five rounds, Lionel Scaloni's team has scored only two victories, both of them on their own field – over Bolivia (6:0) and Peru (1:0). Nevertheless, with 25 points scored after 12 rounds, the Argentines confidently lead the standings, pulling away by five points from Uruguay. It should be noted that during the entire qualifying cycle, the national team suffered only three defeats, one of them was at the home stadium from the Uruguayans with a score of 0.:2. It won't be easy to get revenge today, as you'll have to play without the injured Lionel Messi. Plus, there were no wins away in the last three matches of the qualifying tournament – two defeats and a draw.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lionel Messi and Lautaro Martinez will not play today due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- In the two previous matches involving Argentina, a draw was recorded in the first half.
- In three of the last five matches of the national team of Argentina, both teams scored goals.

5.40Tip and bets
Uruguay and Argentina have noticeably slowed down during the qualifying cycle and are far from being at their peak for a face-to-face confrontation. The hosts had won only once in the previous five rounds, while they had lost three times to their rivals. The Argentines have scored only two wins in the same stretch and today, moreover, they will play without Lionel Messi. We think that in the confrontation between the leaders of the qualifying tournament, the logical outcome will be a draw, which will largely suit both teams.
Our betting tip is a draw for a coefficient of 3.00
Bet on the total
Both teams have a solid selection of offensive players. Even without Messi, the Argentines have someone who can create and realize their moment through individual skill. In our opinion, there is a high probability that the opponents will score at least one goal each today.
The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 2.17
Betting on corners
Let's pay attention to the fact that the national team of Argentina has not served more than four corners in the last six away matches in qualifying for the World Cup. Based on this trend, we recommend another option for a reliable bet.
The betting tip is that Argentina's total corners are less than 4.5 with a coefficient of 1.57
