The USA has been a regular participant in all the recent major tournaments, but one event the Stars and Stripes missed was the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where they were unexpectedly not selected. However, in the next qualifying tournament, they quickly finished third in their group, earning a direct ticket to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. They managed to play one friendly in June when they crushed a strong Morocco 3:0, but they will face another fixture before the CONCACAF Nations League.

Uruguay is another national team that has missed only one World Cup in the 21st century, in 2006, and has participated in all the following competitions. Sky Blue managed to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, although they had serious difficulties during the qualifying tournament. The Uruguayans suffered a series of poor performances at the end of last year, after which they had to say goodbye to legendary coach Oscar Tabares. The team has improved dramatically since the appointment of Diego Lopez as head coach, winning four games in a row to qualify for the tournament in Qatar and then beating Mexico 3:0 in a friendly.

The USA and Uruguay approach the encounter in excellent form. Both national teams successfully qualified for the World Cup in Qatar before the Americans crushed the Moroccans 3:0 in a friendly in June, while the Uruguayans did the same to the Mexicans. The Blue and Sky's more powerful line-up speaks in favor of the Blues and the home-field advantage in favor of the Stars and Stripes, so we suggest betting on a draw for 3.1.

The United States and Uruguay have always played bright and productive football in their recent encounters, each team scoring a goal each time. In just three previous meetings, the opponents have scored a combined total of nine goals (3.00 on average per game). We have the right to expect a physical attacking football with high-scoring activity in the upcoming match. In addition, they already managed to score three goals against serious opponents this week. With this in mind, we suggest betting on a total over 2.5 for 2.20.

Edinson Cavani hardly played last season, so he set his record of only two goals in his career. Once he returned to the national team, he scored as many goals in one friendly match against Mexico as he did in the entire English championship - two goals. The 35-year-old player feels much better in the Uruguayan national team, so it is worth looking at a bet on Edinson Cavani's goal for 2.6.
