Betting tips for Uruguay VS Japan 20.06.2019

After a convincing win in the first challenge of the competition, Uruguay are now measuring their strength with the Japan guest at the Grêmio Arena in a match for Group C of the Copa America 2019. The team with the most titles in this competition achieved a good start in the race, and another victory here stamps the access to the next stage for the Uruguayans. Japan, however, arrives here after a heavy defeat at the hands of the current two-time champion, and faces another major South American formation.

Uruguay holds the first place in Group C with 3 points, the result of 1 victory, with partial of 4 goals scored and no goals conceded. With 15 trophies in this event, the Uruguayans are the selection with more titles of the America's Cup in their trophy, and enter the test once again with the intention of further improving their registration. The last time Uruguay won the competition was in 2011, and in the two editions of the competition since then, this selection reached the quarterfinals in 2015, and did not go beyond the group stage in 2016.

The team seems to have managed to overcome the bad moment after the end of the World Cup 2018, and entered this competition on the right foot, beating Japan (4-0) in the first match of this group. La Celeste completely controlled the game against the Asian side, being by far the strongest team and this was reflected in the result. This is a selection with experienced and very talented players, possessing an excellent backbone, starting with Muslera in goal, Godín and Giménez in the heart of defense, Bentacur and Vecino in the center of the pitch, and Cavani and Suárez leading the offensive line. Still, Vecino got injured from the game against Japan, leaving out the rest of the race, and now it may be up to Lucas Torreira to take his place.

Eleven Probable: Muslera - Cáceres, Godín, Giménez and Laxalt - Torreira, Bentacur, Lodeiro and Nández - Cavani and Suárez.

Copa América 2019 Japan, meanwhile, is the last place in Group C without a point, the result of 1 defeat, with partial of 4 goals conceded and no goals scored. The Japanese were invited to participate in this edition of the Copa America, a test that never before disputed, and did not have the ideal debut in the test when undergoing a heavy defeat against the Chilean team (0-4), the current double champion in title. The Blue Samurai have already played 12 games since the start of 2019, won the first six, all counting for the Asian Cup, where they lost in the final against Qatar, and since then they have won only 2 of the next 6 who played.

In addition, being a selection invited to this competition, Japan did not bring its best players, having even summoned several young players still for obtaining their first internationalization. To be clear, 17 of the 23 teams have less than five caps for Japan, with only more experienced players such as Getafe's Shibasaki and Okazaki from Leicester City.



Uruguay come here confident after a good victory in the first round, has an experienced team of great quality, is defensively cohesive and presents great offensive values, having even two great finishers like Cavani and Suárez. Faced with an inexperienced Japan, a comfortable victory in favor of Uruguay will be the right result.
