United States vs Uruguay prediction
- Score Prediction: USA 0-2 Uruguay
The U.S. national team will do everything in their power to stop Uruguay, but it will be an extremely difficult task for the U.S. team to match the pace and pace of play of Marcelo Bielsa's team, as their defense looks fragile and their performances are extremely inconsistent.
The match will be more intense than most expected, but Uruguay will eventually emerge victorious with their precise defensive superiority, while the U.S. men's national soccer team will be hoping for a surprise win for Bolivia against Panama in the other Group C game.
