Moving over to Latin America, the teams are all geared up for their next set of crucial qualifiers, and the week witnesses two South-American heavyweights go head-to-head in a battle for 3 points, as Brazil welcome Uruguay on matchday 5 of the CONMEBOL qualifiers.

The sides are currently keenly poised in the standings after 4 rounds of games, with Uruguay in second with 9 points, and Brazil a position adrift on third with 7. So the winner of the match will be making an early statement and the history seems to be on Los Charruas’ side.

Of the 74 meetings between the teams till date, Uruguay have come out on top on 36 occasions compared to 22 by their northern neighbors, and will attempt to add another scalp to their list when the sides battle it out again.

Date and Time: 26th March 2016, 06:15AM (IST)
