Uruguay hosts Paraguay in round 5 of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Friday, June 4th at Estadio Centenario (Montevideo)
Uruguay was considered, if not a grandee, but the national team of the “second wave.” And it has always had enough skill to advance to the World Cups. Still, the backbone that Oscar Washington Tabares uses is aging, and not everyone has an adequate replacement. Perhaps, rather mediocre results of last fall are connected with this fact. The Uruguayans alternated victories with defeats. They managed to beat Chile and hammered Colombia away, but at the same time, the Sky Blues lost not only to Brazil but also to Ecuador. But now Luis Suarez is in excellent shape, and he helped Atlético Madrid win LaLiga. Beyond that, Muslera recovered after severe injury. However, Cavani's absence is surprising, as he was good at Manchester United at the end of the season.

Paraguay could not make it to the World Cups either in 2014 or 2018. And the White-and-Reds did not manage to go above the quarterfinals at Copa America. Moreover, they didn’t gain a single victory at the continental tournaments either in 2016 or in 2019. Against this background, Eduardo Berizzo's charges looked good in the new qualification, as they hadn't lost so far. But having beaten Venezuela, the Paraguayans shared points with strong Argentina, more modest Peru, and even Bolivia. We should note Angel Romero, who scored four out of six goals for the national team (although he scored twice from the penalty spot). Thanks to the efforts of the striker from San Lorenzo and his partners, Paraguay is in the intermediate zone of direct promotion to the World Cup (namely, in fourth place). We may add that the coaching staff cannot count on such experienced players as Lezcano, Hernan Perez, Sanabria, and Lorenzo Melgarejo.
Paraguay beat Uruguay back in 2007. Since then, the unbeaten run of the Uruguayans has reached seven matches in a row, including victories in the last two games. Now Uruguay must step up, and the team is obliged to gain three points in such home matches. We will bet on the victory of the men of Oscar Washington Tabares.
Prediction for the match: Uruguay to win
