Uruguay vs Guatemala Prediction
Uruguay’s national football team are favourites for this tie despite not having their star players on the roster. This match will give an opportunity for the local players to make an impression on former Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa. Le Celeste will play their final friendly before they take on Paraguay in the World Cup qualifier fixture.
Guatemala’s national football team, meanwhile, would like to avoid a third consecutive in this fixture. After a positive start to their World Cup qualifier games, the Guatemalans lost their last two matches against Argentina and El Salvador.
Predicted Score: Uruguay 3-0 Guatemala
