Team USA suffered a depressing defeat to Panama a few days ago, jeopardizing their chances of advancing to the next stage. Meanwhile, Uruguay has been the most convincing team in the competition so far.
Before Betting on USA vs. Uruguay
Panama remains a mystery for the United States, as they once again inflicted pain upon their northern rivals. In a match that saw two red cards, a disallowed goal, and plenty of rough tackles, USA lost 0-1, conceding seven minutes before the end of the regulations.
Defense has been a glaring issue for the Americans. Their backline has repeatedly failed to protect their goal, managing only two clean sheets in the last seven matches. We saw it exposed against Colombia in the test game when Cafeteros netted five times.
Boasting an 8-1 goal difference and securing both victories thus far, Uruguay has undoubtedly been the standout team in the tournament. But even so, Uruguay’s position in the knockout stage isn’t entirely assured.
Marcelo Bielsa revolutionized Uruguay’s game, imposing an offensive-minded approach on the field. The team constantly attacks and pushes its own tempo, which is why only one of their last five games hasn’t seen three or more goals.
USA vs. Uruguay Head to Head

Not reaching the next stage would be one of the worst things that happened to the United States in recent years. They are the hosts, and their team is apparently preparing for the 2026 World Cup, where they also have the home-court advantage, so not reaching the quarterfinals in this tournament would be a disaster. Therefore, we expect to see them ultra-offensive, and that will surely cause this game to see high efficiency, that is, over 2.5 goals.
