The U.S. men's national soccer team is already in a terrible situation where they must win in an upset against Uruguay in the 2024 Copa America Group C final on Monday.
After a heavy 2-1 defeat to Panama last time out at Atalanta, the USA are in great danger of being eliminated from the group stage and will need an upset win in the final.
Uruguay are in excellent form and many see them as serious contenders to beat defending champions Argentina in this tournament, meaning the USA will have to improve themselves in a short period of time or risk an embarrassing exit early.
United States vs. Uruguay prediction, odds
- 输赢盘倾向： 平局 (+225)
- Score prediction: USA 2-2 Uruguay
Ahead of this game, the U.S. men's soccer team has several favorable factors. Theoretically, Uruguay are not yet in the knockout rounds, but in any case, they still have a chance as they need to see their advantage of eight goal difference erased or they will be eliminated. As a result, as they look ahead to the quarter-finals, there is likely to be a significant rotation of the squad and a drop in concentration.
In addition, Marcelo Bielsa's absence due to suspension is a negligible but not negligible advantage for the United States. In the end, the U.S. team knows they will almost certainly need to win to advance, and they will give it their all in this game.
