Uruguay will be looking to maintain their 100% record at the Copa America 2024 so far when they take on the United States on Tuesday morning in Kansas City, Missouri.
The United States of America are competing in the Copa America for only the fourth time in history. The highest the Stars and Stripes have achieved in the competition is a fourth place finish in 1995 and in their last appearance in 2016. They head into their final Group C game of the current edition with just three points from two matches. A point could see them through to the knockout stages, but they will be hoping Panama doesn’t beat Bolivia in the other game of the group.
Uruguay are the joint-most successful nation in the Copa America along with Leonel Messi and Argentina. The Sky Blues have won the competition 15 times, but their most recent one was over 13 years ago in Argentina. After winning their two games so far 8-1 on aggregate, Marcelo Bielsa’s men will fancy their fancies of regaining the crown.
USA vs Uruguay Betting Tips: Draw & under 2.5 goals
I expect a cautious contest between these two nations that won’t want to lose. They have also met twice in the last six years with both encounters ending in low scoring draws.
All two games of Uruguay so far at this tournament have produced more than three goals, but going back to the last edition there were not plenty of goals. None of the five games of the Sky Blues in Copa América 2021 produced more than two goals, with three ending with under one goal.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- USA vs Uruguay prediction: 0-0

USA team news
Timothy Weah will be unavailable to head coach Gregg Berhalter on Monday due to a suspension.
The Juventus forward received a straight red card 18 minutes into the defeat to Panama after he used his hand to strike Roderick Miller in an off the ball incident.
Weah’s absence could see Ricardo Pepi get a start in the final third alongside Christian Pulisic and Folarin Balogun, Ethan Horvath may replace the injured Matthew Turner in goal.

Uruguay team news
Darwin Núñez has been in fine form since the start of this tournament, scoring two goals in two games for Uruguay and the Liverpool forward is expected to lead the line on Monday.
Luis Suárez may once again settle for a substitute appearance, while Rodrigo Bentancur will be hoping to replace Manuel Ugarte or Federico Valverde in the middle of the park.
