USA vs Uruguay Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Copa America 2024

Marcelo Bielsa’s side put five unresponded goals past Bolivia in the last match.

USA were dealt a blow in the last match after Panama won surprisingly. After making a bright start to the game, Timothy Weah’s red card changed the match’s entire complexion. It allowed Panama to make their comeback in the game.

Gregg Berhalter’s side now must win this match to secure their place in the quarter-final. A loss here and Panama collecting a point against Bolivia will see them getting eliminated from the competition. 

Uruguay have outperformed their opponents in the opening matches. This team looks like a threat to the rest of the teams in the competition after their early domination. They registered a dominating win in the previous match against Bolivia to book their place in the quarter-finals.

Marcelo Bielsa has worked his magic on the team as there is a hunger and desire in the squad. Darwin Nunez looks a different player under him and will be aiming to play a key part in this competition. 

Kick-Off:

Tuesday, 2 July 2024 at 2:00 AM UK

Tuesday, 2 July 2024 at 6:30 AM IST

Location: Arrowhead Stadium

Form

⁠USA (in all competitions): W-L-D-W-L

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

Players to Watch

Christian Pulisic (⁠USA)

Despite Christian Pulisic’s impressive outings, the USA are on the verge of elimination if they lose this match and Panama collects a point against Bolivia. The AC Milan man has scored one and provided one in the two matches.

USA’s chances hinge on his shoulder as he has proved to be a difference for the team. Pulisic possesses the ability to win the match on his own due to the unique qualities he brings to the table. 

Darwin Nunez (Uruguay)

Marcelo Bielsa has worked his magic on Darwin Nunez who has been in red-hot form for the team. Nunez has scored in back-to-back matches and is on the list for the Golden Boot. His form for the national team has even kept the impressive Luis Suarez on the bench.

Nunez has scored 10 goals in the last seven matches for Uruguay and doesn’t seem to be stopping any time soon. He has perfectly fit in at Bielsa’s setup.

Match Prediction for ⁠USA vs Uruguay

The tournament hosts have failed to maintain their grip on the competition and are in danger of missing the knockout phase. Their defence has looked all over the place which will be a big concern for them as they take on an in-form side.

Under Bielsa’s management, Uruguay have become an outstanding side that likes to play on the front foot. They will be the favourites here with the form they are in. 

Prediction: ⁠USA 1-2 Uruguay
