Brazil Preview – Selecao to strengthen their grip?
Brazil are leading the CONMEBOL qualification for the 2022 World Cup having posted a W9 D1 record.
The first dropped points came for them in their latest fixture.
That was a 0-0 draw away at Colombia on the weekend.
In the match outright for this game, Brazil are the 1/2 odds-on favourites to pick up the victory* (odds recorded 19:41 GMT on 12th October 2021).
When they went to Uruguay earlier in this qualification campaign, Brazil took a 2-0 win.
Throughout this campaign, Brazil are averaging over two goals per game.
They have conceded only three goals in their ten qualifiers. Those were all conceded away from home.
It has been four home games for Brazil and four clean sheet wins.
Brazil are undefeated in their last eleven matches against Uruguay.
They have won their last three and six of their last seven against this opponent.
So things appear to be shaping up well for them as they look to strengthen their grip at the top.
Brazil currently hold a six-point lead at the top of the World Cup qualification group from Argentina.
Given that the Selecao have been so commanding, a Brazil to win to nil option is at 5/4 for football betting* (odds recorded 19:41 GMT on 12th October 2021).
Uruguay Preview – Can the visitors avoid defeat?
Uruguay are currently sat in fourth place in the qualification group and under a little bit of pressure.
It has been a W4 D4 L3 record that they have recorded in his campaign.
They have Colombia breathing down their neck.
It looks like a three-way battle between themselves, Ecuador and Colombia for a top-four finish (with Brazil and Argentina looking untouchable).
There was a big setback for Uruguay’s qualification hopes on the weekend.
They visited Buenos Aires and were hammered 3-0 by Argentina.
Uruguay were down and out of that one by the half time whilst.
So they move on to Brazil as underdogs again, Uruguay trading at a quote of 15/2 in the match outright* (odds recorded 19:41 GMT on 12th October 2021).
Given how tight things are, they may be happy to get out of this fixture, the toughest one on paper in the entire campaign, with a draw.
