Uruguay take on the visitors Cuba in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 21st.
After an unsuccessful performance at the championship, Uruguay have actively started rejuvenating its squad. It is worth noting that representatives from South America are doing exceptionally well in this regard. In spring, the team embarked on an Asian tour, playing against Japan and South Korea. Valverde and his company achieved two very convincing results. In both matches, the team allowed only six shots on goal in total. The most interesting game was the last one, played at home against Nicaragua, where they thoroughly tested all the players. They demolished the opponent but conceded a goal in extra time, clearly spoiling the mood of the Sporting goalkeeper.

The Cuban national football team is trying to reach the level of respectable teams in their zone. However, so far, all their efforts have been in vain. Football is clearly not the number one sport in Cuba, and there are no skilled footballers outside the CONCACAF zone at all. With the exception of one player from Inter Miami, the rest are locals, which is a sad sight. Cubans barely manage to defeat Barbados and Guadeloupe. In the CONCACAF Gold Cup, they faced Mexico, Canada, and the USA, and in seven matches against these giants in the last five years, they failed to score a single goal! They played a match in Chile before this encounter, and the result was terrible—a crushing defeat with only two shots on target when the opponent had already relaxed.
There is a possibility of a fluke goal, which cannot be denied. However, the Uruguayan national team is a disciplined team that is not accustomed to playing against such weak opponents. They recently faced a team of higher caliber than Cuba and managed to secure a confident victory, although they conceded a random and silly goal at the end. Cuba is several levels below its opponent in terms of skill. They struggle to maintain possession, and their passing game is simply appalling. Moreover, this national team rarely participates in such matches. Their performance against Chile was very disappointing, with not a single real scoring opportunity throughout the match! Now they are heading to the Uruguayan inferno, where all the stars of the team will be present. At such odds, I confidently bet against the guests scoring.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - no
