Uruguay meets Japan in round 2 of Copa America. The match will be played on Friday, June 21st at Arena do Grêmio (Porto Alegre)
Uruguay confidently beat the national team of Ecuador in the first round of the group stage. Truth be told, the Sky Blue has played in the majority since the middle of the first half. Still, 4 goals scored against Ecuador deserve attention. By the way, the Tricolor has conceded 4 goals to its net only second time for the past 5 years. But note that the Ecuadorians played about a hundred matches during this period.

Japan, the invited guest of the tournament, brought to Brazil the youth team, and almost all players perform in their local championship. So, there are no special reasons to expect some surprises from the Asians, or at least that game that allowed them to win silver medals six months ago at the Asian Cup.
Victory in the upcoming match will probably lead Uruguay to the next stage of the competition. And the Sky Blue will surely gain this victory. If Japan brought reservists, Tabares called all the strongest players: Godin, Di Maria, Cavani, Suarez, and goalkeeper Muslera. And the difference in the class between the rivals will certainly manifest itself in the first half. The Uruguayans will win it, and after the break, having a reserve in the score, they will not only retain the existing advantage but will most likely increase it. The Sky Blue won the last four matches. And it gained such a form of victory (the first half and the match) in all those 4 games. Judging by the attitude of the Japanese to the tournament, they put the youth against the monsters of world football, and there will be the same result in the upcoming game. The rivals have met 5 times, and Japan won only one match. In two of them, the South Americans scored in the first half.
Prediction for the match: Uruguay to win the first half and the match
