Tactically, we should watch for Chile’s midfield structure and how effectively they control possession. Uruguay will likely focus on their defensive organization and look to exploit any vulnerabilities on the counter-attack. The team that best executes their game plan and shows the most determination will likely secure those crucial points in the Sudamericano Sub-20.
