Uruguay vs. Brazil odds, picks and predictions

[ad_1]

Uruguay meets Brazil Saturday in a Copa America quarterfinal matchup. Kickoff from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Uruguay vs. Brazil odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

Uruguay went a perfect 3-for-3 in Group C to top the table. It opened the tournament with a 3-1 win over Panama, before hammering overmatched Bolivia 5-0. In a must-win game for the United States, Uruguay eased by the host nation with a 1-0 victory to oust the USMNT.

MF Maximiliano Araujo and F Darwin Nunez led La Celeste with 2 goals apiece in the group stage, while MF Rodrigo Bentancur, D Mathias Olivera, MF Facundo Pellistri, MF Federico Valverde and D Matias Vina each notched a goal apiece, while GK Sergio Rochet has consecutive clean sheets.

For Brazil, Vinicius Junior will miss Saturday’s match due to accumulated yellow cards, so teen phenom Endrick will draw in.

Seleção Canarinho has not been nearly as impressive as Uruguay, playing to a scoreless draw against Costa Rica in the opening match, while playing to a 1-1 draw against Colombia to settle for 2nd in Group D. Brazil’s lone victory was a 4-1 pounding of neighbor Paraguay in its 2nd match.

Junior scored 2 goals in the group stages, but he is on the shelf. MF Lucas Paqueta, F Raphinha and F Savio were the only other goal scorers for Brazil, notching 1 apiece.

Moneyline (3-way): Uruguay +200 (bet $100 to win $200) | Brazil +160 (bet $100 to win $160) | Draw +190 (bet $100 to win $190) Over/Under: 2.5 (O: +150 | U: -184)

Uruguay vs. Brazil picks and predictions Prediction Uruguay 1, Brazil 1 (PK)

Moneyline (ML) DRAW (+190) is a strong play on the 3-way line as this one should be decided on penalties, similar to how Argentina-Ecuador and Canada-Venezuela were decided.

If you’re a little more conservative, playing URUGUAY (+106) on the 2-way line to qualify for the next round is an option, too. Brazil has been a lot more impressive but will be without its leading scorer from the group stage to make things more difficult.

Over/Under (O/U) UNDER 2.5 GOALS (-184) is a strong play, although it will certainly cost you.

However, we shouldn’t have more than 2 goals in regulation, and anything scored in penalties doesn’t count against the regulation total.

In the group stages, Uruguay cashed Over in 2 of 3 matches, but Brazil promises to be its biggest challenge yet. The total has gone Under in 2 of 3 matches for Brazil, which as mentioned, will be without Junior.
