Uruguay road to Russia 2018 World Cup
The question in everyone's mind ahead of the Russia World Cup for Uruguay fans and detractors alike is, will Luis Suarez make it to the end of his team's stint without getting a red card or receiving a suspension? - Similarly to Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentina's Messi, Uruguay’s reputation has relied heavily on some very powerful key players to lead them to victory, and in the instances in which they've been out of the main line-up their team's defense has struggled to ward off their opponents. The South American's have been a constant landmark at the World Cup, with 12 previous participations and 2 championships under their belt. Check Uruguay betting odds here.
Uruguay enjoyed an easy start in the qualification stage with two victories over an inferior Bolivia team and against Colombia at home in October of 2015; this was achieved in both instances without the presence of either Cavani and Suarez, which spoke highly of their broad squad resourcefulness. Soon after, Tavarez led his men to another win (3-1) against fellow South American's Chile in November of the same year. Things took a turn to the downside in 2017 when they suffered head-to-heat friendly defeats to Peru, Ireland and Italy, but managed to raise their heads once more by sweeping Paraguay and stopping Argentina with a goal-less tie, thus earning the necessary points to enter the World Cup. In June, Uruguay will move to match their power against Uzbekistan in the last tryout before the big contest.
Uruguay Key Players
Aging coach Oscar Tavarez repeated his role as Uruguay's coach when he took over back in 2006 and has remained at his post ever since, having achieved a great deal of success for his team during the length of his 12 year tenure. Sadly, this is likely to become his last stint with his beloved squad, as he is expected to take a rest from the grueling job once the championship is completed. Apart from the accustomed fiery performances of Diego Suarez and Edinson Cavani, the South American team will count with the talent of captain Diego Godin, goalkeepers Fernando Muslera and Martin Campana, defensive keys Martin Caceres, Maxi Pereira and Gaston Silva. Tavarez has brought in the fresh talent of capable U-21 player Federico Valverde.
Suarez and his team are positioned right below the mark of the top outright favorites to win the prestigious trophy, with World Cup betting odds that range between 25 and 30 to 1.
