Uruguay vs Brazil Head-to-Head stats and numbers you need to know before Match 27 of the 2024 Copa America

Uruguay will face Brazil in the 2024 Copa America quarterfinals at Allegiant Stadium on Saturday. Uruguay, the 2011 champions, are looking to make it past the last-eight for the first time since the 2011 edition, while Brazil have made it to the final in the last two editions and will look to make it three final appearances in a row.

La Celeste were one of just three teams to have a 100% record in the group stage. They had the best goalscoring record in the group stage, scoring nine goals in three games while conceding just once. Darwin Núñez scored in the first two games but failed to continue his goalscoring form in the final group-stage match against the USA.

Seleção went unbeaten in the group stage, with two of the three games ending in draws. They were held to a goalless draw by Costa Rica in their campaign opener but bounced back with a 4-1 win over Paraguay, with Vinicius Junior bagging a brace.

In their final group-stage match, they were held to a 1-1 draw by Colombia and finished second in the Group D table. Raphinha had scored in the 11th minute but they were unable to hold onto their lead.

The 2019 champions have made it to the final in four of their last seven appearances in the competition. La Celeste, meanwhile, have made it to the final just once in the 21st century.

Marcelo Bielsa is likely to field a full-strength squad for this match while Brazil will be without the services of Vinícius Júnior, who is suspended after being booked twice in the group stage.
