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. Last May, it was announced that “El Loco” would take the lead after the dismissal of Diego Alonso, and since then, the Uruguayan people have started to get excited.
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.
Without further delay, JefeBet brings you all the information of how these teams are preparing for the Uruguay vs Nicaragua match, including the possible lineups, and the predictions and odds for the game.

Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Santiago Mele; Jose Luis Rodriguez, Bruno Mendez, Sebastian Caceres, Joaquin Piquerez; Felipe Carballo, Matias Vecino; Facundo Torres, Diego Rossi, Brian Rodriguez; Matias Arezo
Betting on Nicaragua (To be confirmed on DraftKings)
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.
