The final group matches in the Copa America will be played on Monday night and we take a look at the clash between Chile and Uruguay as the betting tips continue at the Maracana with both teams jostling for top spot in Group C.
Chile Prediction- Can Chile keep winning streak going?
Chile sit top of Group C with the maximum amount of 6 points from their first two matches thanks to wins against invitees Japan as well as Ecuador.
A resounding 4-0 victory over Japan set the tone for Chile’s success to date in this Copa America tournament and they followed that up with a 2-1 win against Ecuador.
That’s now 3 wins on the trot for Chile who had earlier recorded a 2-1 win over Haiti prior to the start of the Copa America tournament.
Having already qualified for the quarter-finals as they hold a 5-point margin over 3rd placed Japan, it’s now down to this final group match to decide the Group C winner.
Chile hold a 2-point margin ahead of closest rivals 2nd placed Uruguay prior to this final group match, but they’ll be keen to get the best position possible in the last eight.
However, with just 3 wins out of their last 8 away matches on their travels, Chile are far from guaranteed from grabbing all three points in this clash.
Uruguay Prediction – Can Uruguay finish top of Group C?
Uruguay sit in 2nd place and 2 points behind leaders of Group C, Chile, prior to this Monday night’s clash as they jostle for the most favourable position in the quarter-finals.
They also recorded an emphatic 4-0 win in their opening group match over Ecuador which was followed up with a disappointing 2-2 draw with Japan.
Therefore, Uruguay are sitting on 4 points and hold a 3-point lead over 3rd placed Japan ahead of this final match and bring a 5-match unbeaten run into this clash.
This decent sequence of results include wins over Uzbekistan, Thailand, Panama and Ecuador along with the aforementioned draw with Japan.
Uruguay have scored 16 goals in these last 5 matches, so scoring goals have been no problem for them and they possess deadly goal threats too.
The likes of Luis Suarez and Edison Cavani along with Christian Stuani in the attacking personnel represent a serious goal threat to their opponents, Chile.
Uruguay’s results away from home though have been poor as they’ve lost 4 of their last 6 matches on the road.
They have recorded 3 wins out of the last 6 meetings against Chile but they arguably have the better quality players at their disposal.
Key-Facts – Chile v Uruguay
- Chile have won just 3 of their last 8 away matches in all competitions
- Uruguay have scored 16 goals in their last 5 matches
- The last 6 meetings have seen 3 wins for both Chile and Uruguay
Betting Tips Verdict
Chile have had it all their own way so far but they’ll be up against a strong Uruguay outfit here.
