A real buzz is expected in and around Estadio Centenario on Friday evening as the top two sides of the South American World Cup qualifying campaign come across each other.
Uruguay are hoping to claim a big scalp and beat the world champions Argentina. Can the visitors pull off a result in one of the toughest away games in the campaign without their main star Lionel Messi in the roster?
Stay tuned for key stats, head-to-head record, and expert tips.

Uruguay vs Argentina Match Preview

Uruguay hold the second place in the Conmebol World Cup qualifications with just two defeats in twelve opening matches of the campaign.

They held Brazil to a 1-1 stalemate away from home in the previous round. Real Madrid’s star Federico Valverde scored the team’s lone goal in a strong performance against the continent’s powerhouse.

Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez holds the second place in the competition’s scoring charts with five goals to his name so far in the campaign.

Uruguay are unbeaten in their own backyard with four wins and two draws in six home outings so far.

Argentina are five points clear at the top of the standings mainly thanks to Lionel Messi who tops the scoring charts with six goals.

Messi will skip the team’s two games in March through muscle injury. Argentina generally did not shine in the previous two games.

They fell 1-2 away in Paraguay before beating rock-bottomed Peru 1-0 on the home soil.

Uruguay vs Argentina Prediction

Argentina lost two and drew one of the last three World Cup qualifiers away from home. They are also without their main star Lionel Messi here against Uruguay.

Uruguay are unbeaten in six home outings so far in the campaign. They also shocked Argentina in the reverse match with a 2-0 win on the Argentine soil in November 2023.

The home win pick is the way to go at the 2.80 odds. We will alternatively take the Under 1.5 goals bet at the 2.37 odds as four of Uruguay’s last six matches finished with fewer than two goals scored.
