Brazil are desperately looking to find some consistency after a shaky start to their 2026 World Cup qualification campaign.
The Selecao were held to a 1-1 draw by Venezuela last weekend and are currently fourth in the South American table as a result.
Can Dorival Junior’s side make a big statement against a talented Uruguay side? We will find out in the early hours of Wednesday morning!

Brazil vs Uruguay Preview
Brazil’s draw with Venezuela means they have failed to win more games than they have won in the qualifiers.
After 11 rounds of matches, the five-time World Cup winners boast a record of five wins, two draws and four losses.
For a team of Brazil’s stature, that simply is not good enough and they need a big performance against Uruguay.
And Vinicus Junior also needs to step up after missing a penalty late on in the draw with Venezuela. He has shone at Real Madrid, but the winger is yet to really deliver on the international stage.
Uruguay currently sit second in the CONMBEOL table with five wins, four draws and two losses. Their most recent encounter was a memorable 3-2 win over Colombia on home soil.
It was a welcome return to winning ways after a 0-0 draw with Ecuador and a 1-0 loss to Peru in the previous two fixtures.
The onus will be on Darwin Nunez to put Brazil’s struggling defence under pressure, while the midfield duo of Rodrigo Bentancur and Fede Valverde can help the team gain control in what should be a hostile atmosphere in Salvador, Bahia.
These two sides met in the quarter-finals of the 2024 Copa America, a match which Uruguay won on penalties following a 0-0 draw.
Uruguay also beat Brazil 2-0 in the reverse World Cup qualifier last October, so the hosts will be out for revenge in this one.
We expect drama and cards aplenty!

Brazil vs Uruguay Betting Tips
Raphinha to score anytime @ 3.61
In case you were not aware, Raphinha is in the form of his life. He scored a brilliant free-kick against Venezuela and has been amazing at Barcelona, registering 12 goals and 10 assists in 17 appearances across all competitions this season. So that is why we fancy him to get on the scoresheet here!
A red card in the match – Yes @ 3.25
With so much on the line for both sides, this is all set to be a fiery affair with tackles flying in everywhere. As such, it would not be a surprise to see at least one player given his marching orders by the referee.
Over 9.5 corners @ 2.68
When Brazil drew 1-1 in Venezuela, there were 12 corners in the match. So these odds look very, very tempting!
