Uruguay vs Nicaragua Picks and Predictions | Jun 14 2023

The Uruguay vs Nicaragua match has a special appeal as it marks the debut of Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa on the bench of the Uruguayan squad.

This will be the first step of the process, and the team will face a CONCACAF team. Nicaragua lost to Panama in the first friendly match of the FIFA Date, despite being in partial advantage in the score on two occasions.

The Uruguayan National Team has played two friendly matches this year and remains undefeated. With Bielsa at the as the team leader, Uruguay will try to extend this its positive streak in this match. Also, this game marks the return of the Charrúa squad to Uruguayan territory, where it has not played in a year. On that occasion, the squad crushed a CONCACAF team, Panama, with a 5-0 scoreline.

Uruguay is usually a strong team at home. During the 2022 World Cup qualifiers towards Qatar, the team played nine home matches and recorded five wins, two draws, and two losses. Even though this is a friendly match, it will be the ideal scenario for the team to gain confidence ahead of the qualifying process.

Nicaragua played a match in this FIFA Date and lost 3-2 against Panama. The team has played three matches so far this year and only won one, with a score of 4-1 against Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Interestingly, in all three matches, both teams scored goals.

Now, the team will be visiting the Centenario Stadium in search of a win, as it has not been able to attain a win away in a year and has remained winless for five matches in a row. Moreover, Uruguay is the third CONMEBOL rival this team will face, so now it will be seeking to achieve its first victory against a South American opponent. The team has not been able to win against Argentina nor Bolivia in the past.

Probable lineup (4-1-3-2): Miguel Rodríguez; Josué Quijano, Jason Coronel, Erick Tellez, Óscar Acevedo; Melvin Hernández; Marvin Fletes, Matias Belli, Juan Barrera; Ariagner Smith, Jaime Moreno

El Jefe’s Prediction on Uruguay vs Nicaragua

There is no previous record between these teams, but that should not stop you from picking a side. Even though the Uruguayan national team is going through a restructuring phase, it has a better historical record than its opponent, especially when playing at the Centenario Stadium.
