International football returns with another set of friendlies as Uruguay take on the USA on Sunday, 5 June. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will need to step up to the plate this weekend.
Uruguay have managed to secure their place in the 2022 FIFA World Cup and have turned their performances around this year. La Celeste eased past Mexico by a 3-0 margin in their previous game and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
The USA have also managed to qualify for the World Cup but have not been at their best over the past year. The home side defeated Morocco by a 3-0 margin last week and will need to work hard to secure a similar result in this match.
USA vs Uruguay Head-to-Head
The USA have a surprisingly impressive record against Uruguay and have won two of the six matches played between the two teams. The South American giants have managed only one victory against the hosts and will want to level the scales on Sunday.
The previous meeting between the two sides took place in 2019 and ended in a 1-1 draw. Uruguay were wasteful on the day and will need to be more clinical this weekend.
