Uruguay vs Nicaragua Prediction
Uruguay have begun a new era under the management of the dynamic and eccentric Marcelo Bielsa. Bielsa was a surprise appointment by Uruguay, but an exciting one; while certainly a polarising figure, Bielsa guarantees entertainment on and off the field.
The squad he has announced indicates that he has an eye towards the future. Familiar names like Ronald Araujo, Federico Valverde, Manuel Ugarte and Darwin Nunez have not been selected, and given the tiring nature of the season gone by, it makes sense to give his star players some rest.
However, it will be a chance for exciting young talents like Facundo Pellistri, Matias Arezo and Fabricio Diaz to impress the new manager. Uruguay have to find essential squad players to build around their core of Araujo, Valverde and Nunez.
We expect Uruguay to win this game.
