Argentina plays host to Uruguay in their next match in the CONMEBOL region 2022 World Cup qualifiers with both teams putting their unbeaten runs at stake. Argentina go to the game second in the standings with 19 points, three ahead of Uruguay who are fourth and have played a game more. Argentina ceded some ground in their last game, drawing 0-0 with Paraguay but they are still well placed in the qualifiers. Across all matches, they now have an undefeated run of 23 matches but there’s a feeling that they still need to improve, having drawn three of their last matches. Four of their last seven matches in World Cup qualifiers have produced under 2.5 goals and eight of the last 10 at home have also produced under 2.5 goals. In their last home game, Argentina beat Bolivia 3-0 and will be hoping to mete the same on Uruguay, though their matches against Uruguay haven’t been high scoring. Four of their last five meetings have produced under 2.5 goals.

Argentina beat Uruguay 1-0 in the Copa America in June and the visitors will seek revenge in going for three points here. Uruguay are unbeaten in regular time in their last eight matches – the last team to beat them was Argentina. Ahead of this game, Uruguay drew 0-0 with Colombia and lost crucial pace in the qualification race. Their golden generation is slowly shedding off and it is very clear they are struggling, especially in replacing Luis Suarez and Edison Cavani. Suarez and Cavani will still be available for the game and a lot of hope rests on the duo. Uruguay have four wins in their last eight matches but 11 of their last 12 games have produced under 2.5 goals. They have scored more than one goal in only one of their last seven World Cup qualification matches.
