Colombia vs Uruguay Prediction 12.10.2023

• Competition: World Cup Qualification
• Date: 12.10.2023
• Kickoff: 21:30 UTC +1 / 22:30 CEST
• Venue: Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez (Barranquilla)

Colombia’s qualifying campaign began with relative safety, securing a victory against Venezuela and a commendable draw against Chile on their opponent’s turf. Impressively, they managed to keep a clean sheet in both matches, with their defense performing at an exceptional level. Although their attack lacked efficiency, there is ample opportunity to improve and refine their strategies in the upcoming round. Notably, this team has remained undefeated since February of the previous year, indicating a strong sense of balance and cohesive teamwork. With such promising progress, it would be a tremendous missed opportunity if Colombia fails to qualify for the World Championship.

Uruguay boasts a formidable national team, ranking among the strongest in South America and the world. Emerging players now carry the torch from seasoned veterans Suarez and Cavani. Although they secured a victory against Chile initially, Uruguay faced a defeat against Ecuador on their away match. Despite being favored for a place in the top 5, qualifying for the World Cup in this zone is no easy feat. Uruguay is anticipated to deliver much more in the upcoming round.

Colombia vs Uruguay pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

In their last match in 2021 World Championship qualifiers, these teams ended with a 0-0 draw. Colombia has not allowed any goals in their last four matches, all of which ended with less than 2.5 goals. Therefore, it is unlikely that there will be many goals in this upcoming match. A single goal could easily determine the winner, and while Colombia may have a slight advantage, both teams are fairly equal. Uruguay has shown a faster and more efficient style of play in recent months, but this match will be physically demanding in the midfield. Thus, it is expected to be a low-scoring game.
