Republic of Ireland Uruguay betting prediction

The away team plays its first friendly match of the year, after a single friendly match played last year, which ended with the final score: Uruguay (3‑1) Trinidad and Tobago. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 17 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 35 goals scored and 13 conceded. In their last match, for the WC Qualification South America, they got an away loss against Peru by (2‑1). In the last 10 away matches Uruguay has won 2, tied 2 and lost 6. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 5 of the last 12 matches have ended ended with Under 1,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Uruguay reaches this friendly match with a defeat against Peru, at 2-1, as their third consecutive defeat in official matches: the team's goal was signed by Sánchez. In this game against Ireland, coach Óscar Tabárez will play with a  4-4-2 tactical scheme favoring ball possession and timed attacks, however, in some moments of the match should go for a counterattack stance. It is important to emphasize that the Uruguayan national team presents some shortcomings in their defensive sector. For this friendly match, the coach can't count on Godín and Abel Hernández, both injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Martín Cáceres, Maxi Pereira, Sebastián Coates, José Giménez, Carlos Sánchez, Diego Laxalt, Matías Vecino, Egidio Arévalo Ríos, Jonathan Urretaviscaya, Edinson Cavani.
