On June 15, Estadio Centenario (Montevideo) will host a friendly international match, in which Uruguay will compete with Nicaragua. The battle will start at 01:30 CET.

Uruguay

The team was able to break into the World Cup once again. Still, it failed in Qatar. “Los Charrúas” started with a goalless draw in the match against South Korea, after which there happened a 0-2 score in the battle with Portugal. It turned out to win the confrontation with Ghana, but finally the higher mentioned pair of opponents from the quartet was left without reaching the play-offs. Nowadays, the Uruguayans have received a new mentor, Marcelo Bielsa (a draw in the match with Japan and a victory in the struggle with Korea had been before the Argentinean specialist). “El Loco Bielsa” is already experimenting with might and main: he did not call such veterans as Muslera, Coates, Jimenez, Caceres, Godin, Luis Suarez and Cavani, and, speaking about five midfielders, only Carballo has got at least some experience (two matches). It is reasonable to say that it is rather a team of Uruguayans that play in Latin America and only seven “legionnaires” from Europe.

Nicaragua

The national team has never achieved the World Cup in its entire history. Moreover, there were five participations even at the level of CONCACAF Gold Cup – four times everything ended at the group stage. The team managed to get into the tournament in 2017 and 2019, but, firstly, it lost both times, and secondly, then it missed the final draw (still, it can prepare for the return now). The current year brought a pretty good start – the team defeated the national team of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (4-1) and ended the match on the field of Trinidad and Tobago in a draw in the local Nations League. The current squad has got even players from European clubs such as Finnish SJK, where Jaime Moreno plays. Still, the lion’s share of the team is traditionally represented by local, extremely modest, clubs.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Although geographically the countries are not so far from each other, the teams are in the tournaments of different regional federations. As a result, they will play with each other for the first time.

Predictions

Bookmakers do not expect any intrigue. Uruguay is much stronger and should win with “a -2 goal handicap” (odd: 1.64).
