Uruguay vs Colombia Prediction & Betting Tips - World Cup
by Daniel Ngulu | in World Cup Predictions
Uruguay will play host to Colombia as the CONMEBOL qualifiers to the 2022 World Cup resume. The two nations are separated by two points going into the game, Uruguay third with 15 points and Colombia, on 13 points, fifth in the standings. Uruguay get to this game in great shape, unbeaten in their last seven matches, and with two back to back wins. They have failed to score in just one of their last five matches and should be able to field a stronger team this time, with Luis Suarez and Edison Cavani set to return. In their recent matches, Brazil based Daniel de Arrascaeta held forte, scoring three goals in three games. Uruguay needed a last minute winner from Gaston Pereiro to beat Ecuador 1-0 in their last game. That key win saw them leap above Ecuador in the standings. They are in really good form when it comes to World Cup qualification; Uruguay have lost just two of their last 22 home matches in these qualifiers – both against Brazil. They have 15 wins in the 22 games. Head to head, Uruguay did lose on post match penalties to Colombia in the Copa America but they have no loss in regular time in the last four meetings.
Colombia are unbeaten in their last five matches, and after finishing third in the Copa America, they’ll be hoping to rise to the automatic qualification slots here. They have two wins in the last five matches, and come here having beaten Chile 3-1 in the last round of matches. One area they will have to address is the defence, having failed to keep a clean sheet in the last five matches. Both teams have scored in all of Colombia’s last five matches. They go to this game unbeaten in five matches in World Cup qualification but have managed just one clean sheet in the last eight in the competition. Away from home, Colombia are undefeated in three World Cup qualification matches, each of the last two being draws and they have just one win in seven away matches in World Cup qualification.

Our Uruguay vs Colombia Prediction
Colombia haven’t done so well in their recent meetings with Uruguay, and their away run in World Cup qualifiers isn't great. They head to this game with just one clean sheet in eight games and meet a Uruguay side with just two home losses in 22 World Cup qualification matches. Uruguay have the advantage here and with their top forwards back and playing at home, we will back them to win.
