Argentina vs Uruguay - World Cup Qualifiers South America on November 17, 2023: Predicted outcome.

Argentina not only clinched the 2022 World Cup in Qatar but is currently on an exceptional winning streak. The international football season of 2023 is set to conclude on a high note, and a victory against Uruguay would be ideal for Argentina. The bookmakers' Argentina vs. Uruguay prediction indicates that the home team is strongly favored in this matchup. Despite this, they face a formidable opponent in Uruguay, known for its high individual quality in certain positions. Argentina, however, has the capability to navigate this challenge. Therefore, our Argentina vs. Uruguay tip is in favor of the home team clinching the victory.

Argentina

Argentina, the reigning World Cup champion, is currently one of the most in-form teams globally. The squad appears exceptionally stable, committing few errors and boasting numerous exceptional talents. All of this is held together by coach Lionel Scaloni, who has found a successful blend of offensive enthusiasm and defensive structure, combining joy in play with discipline. It's this precise mixture that Argentina requires for success.

And successful they are. Argentina has won 14 consecutive international matches, a remarkable streak. The Argentina vs. Uruguay odds from bookmakers also suggest that they anticipate this streak to continue. The home team is unquestionably favored, with Lionel Messi, in particular, well-rested. However, Messi is not the sole standout player in the Argentine lineup.

The Argentine squad is packed with marquee names: Martinez, Romero, Molina, Enzo, Mac Allister, Messi, Lautaro, Alvarez — leaders in every part of the team. Moreover, the abundance of young talents, eager to make their mark, is yet to be nominated. The future of Argentine football looks promising if the current synergy persists.

Uruguay

Uruguay boasts a rich tradition in the history of national teams and currently sits at 15th place in the FIFA World Rankings. It is undeniably a contender to make a significant impact in major tournaments. With the strategic prowess of national coach Marcelo Bielsa, Uruguay is gradually adopting a modern, more European style of football, a positive development.

This shift paid off recently as Uruguay defeated the Brazilian team 2-0 in their last match. The Uruguayan team displayed discipline, limited their opponents' opportunities, won key duels, and clinically capitalized on scoring chances. No wonder they have lost only one of their last nine games. However, there is still room for improvement, and achieving consistent high-level performances remains a work in progress for Bielsa and his team.

This is evident in their qualification matches, where Uruguay earned only one point in two away games against Ecuador and Colombia. Additionally, a friendly match against Japan ended in a draw. This adds weight to our value tip ahead of the Argentina vs. Uruguay game, predicting a home win with less than 3.5 goals scored.
