#2 Uruguay vs Brazil FIFA World Cup Qualifiers
Uruguay vs Brazil Date – 23rd March
Uruguay vs Brazil Timing – 23:00 GMT
Brazil (on 27 points from 12 games) haven’t won 6 World Cup qualifiers in a row since 1970, and Uruguay (23 points from 12 games) are second just behind them on the of World Cup qualification. So there is no understating the importance of the game for either of the sides.
Tite has been silently rebuilding the team which suffered ‘that’ defeat against Germany, and they have transitioned into a 4-1-4-1 formation.However, the absence of Gabriel Jesus is a big miss, although Firminho can do a job at that position.
Although they’re less reliant of Neymar at the moment, the form of Coutinho has been important and given his underperformance for Liverpool, it’ll be interesting to see how he does.
Uruguay have one of the most in-form striking partnerships in the world, with Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani both firing on all guns. This promises to be a cracker jacker of a game.
