Uruguay (3-0-0) vs. Brazil (1-2-0)
Uruguay vs. Brazil 7/6/24 – In a riveting quarterfinals matchup for the 2024 Copa América, Uruguay, boasting a perfect record so far, will face off against Brazil, which has had a mixed run in the tournament. The game is set to take place on Saturday, July 6, 2024, at the Allegiant Stadium, bringing an electrifying atmosphere as both teams vie for a spot in the semifinals. Uruguay’s strong performance in the group stage sets the stage for a thrilling confrontation against a historically dominant Brazil. For those seeking expert-paid selections, this game represents a tantalizing challenge to decipher which team will rise to the occasion.
Uruguay certainly has been aggressive in the tournament and has shown interest in the office attack as they have a ratio of 1.8 goals per game within the last five games. Central to their threat are Darwin Núñez and Maximiliano Araújo who have gotten two goals each in their last three appearances. To be precise, goals from Núñez, along with his rude behavior when being followed by the opposing team’s defense has been very useful, while Araújo’s capacity when near the midfield moving forward and offering crosses and passes into the box has been an excellent assist. These strengths are likely to be checked by Brazil’s stingy defense that has only allowed a paltry 0.8 goals per game.
On the other side Brazil has not lagged behind in terms of outright offenses averaging 2.4 goals per game in the last five games. Vinícius Júnior has been the revelation, showing speed and danger for the rival in the wings and scoring two goals so far. Lucas Paquetá aids the team in both goals and creating the opportunities in the middle of the field. Raphinha has also usually been on the forward line even when the Brazilian has not been starting more games. This great attacking force will pressurize Uruguay defense which has been okay but will have to be on top of their game against the Brazilian attacking force.

Sergio Rochet GK vs. Alisson Becker GK
Uruguay’s team has been strongly anchored by Sergio Rochet who has shown great reorganization in the area that he has been guarding the posts for his team, especially through the group stages where he was producing two clean sheets. He is sure to be agile especially when dealing with the Brazilian team that has been particularly deadly when it comes to finding a scoring position. This is a deciding match for Rochet, as Uruguay is mostly dependent on the defensive line to offset the attacking force of the rival team.
On the other side, Alisson Becker is carrying a huge experience that he is gathering during his time in top European football to the Brazilian squad. Concisely, his reflexes and control of his territory have been outstanding and has learned how to remain calm and make crucial saves when faced with direct dangers. For Brazil, Alisson will have to be at his best in reading the game and making interventions which will be vital when facing the unpredictable Uruguayan forwards especially the young Darwin Núñez.
