Uruguay to Win

After a bit of a rough start to these WC Qualifiers, Uruguay found their best form lately since they are without a loss in their last five matches in this competition. However, the same is true for Colombia and we should witness a very interesting duel. Our money is on Uruguay because they play at home and because they have won two of the last four meetings against Colombia, with two matches ending in draws.

Over 2.5 Total Goals

Three of the last four head-to-head meetings between Uruguay and Colombia have gone over 2.5 total goals, so we expect to see another high-scoring game in their next duel. In addition to this, Colombia averaged 3.56 goals per game so far in these WC Qualifiers, while Uruguay averaged averaged 2.56 goals per game in the competition.

Luis Suarez to Score at Any Time

With four goals so far in these WC Qualifiers, the experienced striker is leading Uruguay in this category. While he struggled a bit at the start of the season in Atletico Madrid, Suarez is slowly getting back up to speed and he will try to improve on his record with Uruguay in the upcoming duel with Colombia. We expect him to help his national team get the win here with another goal.

Uruguay vs Colombia preview: The derby of the round

With both teams currently on course to reach the World Cup, this should be a very interesting duel. So, let’s check both of them out in more detail:

Uruguay

It was a not the greatest summer for Uruguay since they only managed to get to the quarter-finals at Copa America before they were eliminated by their upcoming opponent on penalties. At the moment, things are better for them in the ongoing WC Qualifiers where Uruguay is currently in the third place, with four wins, three draws, and two losses. Of course, getting back at Colombia for that tough loss at Copa America would further improve the team’s morale.

Colombia

After they finished third at Copa America, Colombia had to shift their focus on the WC Qualifiers and getting a chance to play at the World Cup in Qatar next year. However, they weren’t so great in the Qualifiers so far and they are currently in the fifth spot with thirteen points from nine games, which would take them into inter-conference play-offs.
