France’s victory at the 2018 World Cup in Russia has made them the team to beat at the moment. Les Blues played and defeated the likes of Argentina, Belgium, and even Uruguay as they went all the way in Russia and they have not been doing badly in their games after that competition so far.
They beat the Netherlands and Germany in the Euro Nations League, but a 2-0 defeat at the hands of the Netherlands in the reverse fixture now means that Germany has to beat the Dutch men for Les Blues to qualify for the next round. However, Didier Deschamps’ men would now focus on beating Uruguay for the second time in as many games in this match.
Uruguay reached the quarterfinals of the last World Cup before they were eventually eliminated by France and they would be looking for revenge in this game, even though their recent form doesn’t make them favourites.
The South Americans beat Mexico 4-1 just after their World Cup campaign, but they have since all three subsequent matches the last of which was a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Brazil.
