Uruguay vs Nicaragua Prediction: Can the underdogs cause problems for the home side?

Uruguay will face Nicaragua on June 15. The Uruguayan team is considered the unqualified favorite for the upcoming meeting. Can the underdogs cause problems for the home side?

Since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Uruguay has played just two friendlies. First, the Latin Americans exchanged results with Japan (a 1:1 draw). Then there was a winning performance against South Korea. In the last game, the Uruguayans were stronger than their opponents, scoring 2:1.

The last opponent for Nicaragua was Panama. That encounter saw five goals scored. Despite the opposition, Nicaragua failed to clinch a draw, a 2:3 defeat. Nicaragua has won four in the last ten games, drawn one, and lost five. As expected, the national side managed to outplay the same underdogs, while the defeats were recorded against stronger teams.

Bookmakers' experts don't believe the Nicaraguan national team will win. Even Uruguay's second and third squads look much better in terms of class and preparation than the opposition's starting line-up. We expect the upcoming meeting to be productive, ending with a confident win for the home side. Everything will start with a quick goal.
