Comments and odds for Uruguay vs Chile: Fresh breeze

After the 2022 World Cup, Uruguay said goodbye to a series of heroes whose careers were on the other side, such as Cavani or Luis Suarez. However, La Celeste's performance did not decrease as a result. Accordingly, the South American team has had 3 wins and only drawn once in 4 matches played this year.

Returning to the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Coach Bielsa continued to reform the Uruguay squad by calling up a series of young players such as Cristian Olivera, Pellistri, Brian Rodríguez, Manuel Ugarte...

Of course, there is some concern when using a young squad, but with home advantage and coach Bielsa's talent, Uruguay is confident of defeating Chile in the opening qualifying match.

As for the away team, Chile can no longer maintain its position in South America and the proof is that they cannot qualify for the 2022 World Cup. Right now, La Roja has an erratic performance without winning 10 games. The last 13 matches and made many fans nervous.
