Argentina vs Uruguay: team analysis and expert prediction
Argentina tried to defend their world title, but despite showing character throughout the World Cup knockout stages, they lost the final to Spain—and deservedly so—being remembered only for their excessive roughness. They returned to winning ways in the autumn, although their opponents were very modest: Bolivia (4-0), Burkina Faso (7-0) and Benin (Messi's farewell, 3-0).
Uruguay flopped at the World Cup, drawing with Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde before losing to Spain. They then even went down to Japan in a friendly. Only after that did they thrash South Korea (4-1) and India (6-1).
The former world champions average 3.0 goals scored and 0.8 conceded per game. Their opponents are almost evenly matched, averaging 1.6 goals scored and 1.5 conceded.
