Copa America 2019: Chile vs Uruguay - Combined XI

Striker: Luis Suarez (Uruguay)

The Barcelona No.9 has been on target in both games for Uruguay

Unlike his erratic form at Barcelona, Suarez has looked sharp and utterly menacing with La Celeste in the competition: no player has attempted more shots at goal than the Pistolero's 17, two of which even ended in the back of the net.

After an underwhelming World Cup campaign last year, the 31-year old is showing he still has what it takes to perform at the highest level with his national team, as his interventions will be imperative if the Blues were to taste their first win over Chile in the Copa America in three attempts.

Striker: Edinson Cavani (Uruguay)

Cavani has picked up from where he left off at the World Cup last year

Chile's Eduardo Vargas has, of course, scored a goal more than his Uruguayan counterpart, but misses out on a spot here due to a relatively sombre performance in the narrow win over Ecuador.

In comparison, Cavani has been consistently good, even scoring an outrageous overhead kick against the Amarillo. And even though he fired a blank in the unlikely stalemate to Japan, he tested the former Asian champions to the hilt with eight shots, even hitting one against the crossbar. His partnership with Suarez will be the key in the undoing of the Reds.
