USA vs. Uruguay Prediction on July 1, 2024

Match info

One of the final group-stage matches of the men’s 2024 Copa América will see the tournament host the United States play Uruguay on Monday, July 1, at 8 p.m. local time at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Kansas. The USA is favored to win this Group C match at the moneyline, most likely because betting sites that pay in dollars recognized the desire of Gregg Berhalter’s team to get beyond Uruguay to the knockout stages, given that their rival is practically already there.

Meeting statistics

The current form of the USA

With one game remaining, the USA looked to be headed for the knockout stage, but it blew the opportunity against Panama. The early red card for Timothy Weah proved to be a crushing blow, as the “Stars and Stripes” were shocked to lose 1-2. They now need to at least equal Panama’s scoreline in order to advance to the next round. The United States will play a fierce Uruguay squad that hasn’t yet fully assured its own advancement, though it would take an unlikely sequence of outcomes to remove them from the event.

The current form of Uruguay

Uruguay appears to have an excellent defense, but the USA needs to give this match its all to guarantee its place in the next round instead of depending on Bolivia, which has already been eliminated, to defeat Panama. The tournament hosts are usually good for a goal at home, having scored in 10 of their last 11 games played on US soil. They managed to score against Panama despite being reduced to 10 men. Both teams have a lot of appeal, since Uruguay appears to be in excellent scoring form—“La Celeste” (the “Sky Blue”) has eight goals in its last two games—and it’s difficult to envision it losing this match.

Head-to-head

The USA and Uruguay faced off five times: Uruguay won two matches, the USA one, while two matches were tied.

Match analytics

Both parties have good reasons backing their win in this situation. In its most recent international matches, the USA has performed solidly. This United States team recently suffered its first regulation play defeat in non-friendly matches, comprising the Nations League and the Gold Cup. Uruguay hasn’t played much in 2024, but it truly isn’t a handicap. They went out for six games, winning the last three. To conclude, we think that the USA will prevail in a low-scoring duel, especially because Uruguay’s head coach Marcelo Bielsa will rest a few of his starters given that his team has already touched qualification for the next stage with one hand.

Tip: Outcome And Total Goals 2.5 – W1 and Under 2.5, with odds of 4.60 on 1Red.
