Uruguay vs Colombia Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Only three points separate the two sides on the points table.

Uruguay will host Colombia on Matchday 11 of the CONMEBOL FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Both teams are in scintillating form in the ongoing qualifiers and sit in third and second place respectively. The last time these two teams went head to head was during the semi-finals of the 2024 Copa America.

The game ended in a 1-0 win for Colombia but a fight broke out between its fans and Uruguayan players after the final whistle. The clash was full of controversies and that adds more spice to their upcoming rematch.

Uruguay have accumulated 16 points from their opening 10 games, with four wins, four draws, and two losses. Colombia, on the other hand, are on 19 points. Los Cafeteros have already defeated Argentina and Brazil in the current qualifying campaign. They are just three points behind Argentina, and with a win, they can go level on points with La Albiceleste.

The game is expected to be very tight as both teams will be waiting for a mistake from their opponents. We will see high intensity and a lot of physicality during the game as it is poised to capture the true essence of South American football.

KickOff:

Saturday, November 16, 2024 at 5:30 AM IST

Venue: Centenario

Form:

Uruguay (in all competitions): D-L-D-D-D

Colombia (in all competitions): W-L-W-D-L

Players to watch out for:

Darwin Núñez (Uruguay)

Uruguay are known for producing great strikers. Diego Forlan, Edinson Cavani, and Luis Suarez are recent examples of talented strikers wearing the national jersey. Darwin Núñez is expected to be the next name on this list.

The Liverpool attacker has shown his immense quality whenever he is playing for the national team. Head coach Marcelo Bielsa will be expecting another great performance from him so that his side can return back to winning ways.

James Rodriguez (Colombia)

James Rodriguez is undoubtedly the star player of the Colombian national team. The 33-year-old is currently in his best form for the national team. He was crowned player of the tournament for the 2024 Copa America and has continued to perform on a very high level after the summer tournament as well. The midfielder will be crucial for Colombia.
