The tie between Brazil and Venezuela

Against Venezuela, the Brazilian forward did not exactly show her best side. “We fail at things we shouldn’t have failed“said Fernando Diniz after the meeting.

Diniz will also not be able to count on defender Danilo, who was injured against Venezuela and added to the losses in defense that Brazil already had for physical reasons (including Vanderson, Danilo’s “natural” substitute).

The latest history between Uruguay and Brazil

The legendary Centenario Stadium will be packed to watch the Celeste’s second game under the command of Marcelo Bielsa, who excites the fans and will try to break a very negative streak against the Brazilians. Uruguay’s last victory was in 2001 and since 2017 it has only lost.

The overall record between the two clearly favors the five-time world champions (38 matches won out of 78 played, against 20 celestial triumphs), although the balance is balanced if only the official matches are taken (17 Brazilian victories and 11 Uruguayan victories in 41 matches). .
