To qualify for the 2026 World Cup, Brazil vs Uruguay will compete in the 12th round. Two clubs currently sitting high in the league make for an intriguing matchup. Meanwhile, their performance in recent games has been rather different. It is difficult to foresee how their clash will play out.
In the last round of World Cup qualification, Uruguay emerged victorious. The national squad won 3-2 over Colombia, their table foe. The match remained scoreless until the eleventh minute of stoppage time, when the Uruguayans scored the winning goal. This was a significant victory for Bielsa’s squad.
Strangely, however, Uruguay finally snapped its winless record, which had lasted five matches (four draws and a loss). During this time, the Uruguayans lost to teams that weren’t really tough opponents—0–1 against Peru and 0-0 against Ecuador and Venezuela, respectively. Notably, Uruguay’s performance in the qualifying standings remained almost unchanged; with their win against Colombia, they climbed to second position. Argentina, who is currently in first place, is three points behind.
But for now, Brazil is in fourth place. However, it only has a two-point lead over its opponents, including Uruguay. This means the squad has a shot at the top three after this round. Based on the Brazilians’ recent performances, this option seems correct. The team has effectively overcome this little setback. It has been victorious in the majority of the most recent rounds. The team managed by Dorival Júnior did not lose any points in their match against Venezuela in the penultimate round of selection, with a score of 1:1. Additionally, Vinicius did not have his most excellent game as he was unable to convert a penalty kick in the second half.
