Uruguay Preview – Can Uruguay move into top four?
It’s been a mixed start to Uruguay’s World Cup qualifying campaign as the hosts have won two and lost two of their opening four matches in the group and were handed a 2-0 defeat at home by Brazil last November.
Uruguay hold home advantage again on Thursday though where the hosts will be looking to bounce back with a win and swap places with their 4th placed visitors, Paraguay, whom they beat 2-1 away from home in their last qualifying meeting back in 2017.
Results at home in World Cup qualifiers have generally been pretty consistent for Uruguay who have lost just two of their last 19 matches on home soil along with beating Paraguay in their last two meetings on the trot.
Paraguay Preview – Can Paraguay extend unbeaten start?
Paraguay have made a solid if stubborn start to their World Cup qualifying campaign as the visitors still remain unbeaten after their first four opening games in the group, drawing three and recording a 1-0 win away from home at Venezuela.
Stalemates with Peru, Argentina and Bolivia have seen Paraguay add to their points tally but they face a tough trip to face Uruguay on Thursday evening despite having won three of their last four matches away from home in World Cup qualifiers.
Previous away wins in their last qualifying campaign at Chile and Colombia will also serve as a confidence booster for Paraguay but the visitors have lost their last two meetings on the trot against Uruguay.
