Uruguay +180 vs. Brazil +160 (Sat. July 6 – 9:00 p.m. ET)
Uruguay will face Brazil in the most electric game of the Quarterfinals. Uruguay has not lost and has looked very strong, scoring nine and only conceding once. They’ve shown themselves to be worthy of the title of favorites.
Brazil may have come in with hype, but they stumbled out of the gate. A draw against Costa Rica dug them a hole, and while they got back on track against Paraguay, a tie in the last match against Colombia left them second in their group.
Neither side lacks star power, as Uruguay can count on Darwin Nunez, Federico Valverde, and Ronald Araujo. While Brazil has Rodrygo, Militao, Bruno Guimaraes, and Raphina.
Vinicius will be absent and, as Brazil’s best player, will be a big miss. Both teams stumbled in their last game. Uruguay needed a very tight goal to beat the US. At the same time, Brazil can feel lucky not to have lost with the chances it allowed.
This one is hard to call. At their best, both teams can impose themselves. All that matters is who shows up to play. Brazil will pass its most challenging test thus far in a shootout.
