However, Uruguay came out on top in the last two encounters.
Brazil faces Uruguay this Tuesday, the 19th, at Arena Fonte Nova for the 12th round of the South American Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. View the premier football results at ai scores.
The Brazilian national team currently holds the fourth position with 17 points and still hopes to finish the last FIFA date of the year in second place. For that, they need a victory on Tuesday and for Colombia to stumble against Ecuador at the Metropolitano in Barranquilla.
However, the task won’t be easy. While the team led by Dorival Júnior stumbled in the last round, drawing 1-1 with Venezuela away from home, Uruguay defeated Colombia in an electrifying match, with a last-minute goal in injury time, a result that put them in second place.
When it comes to the head-to-head record, the signs are positive. Playing on Brazilian soil, the national team hasn’t lost to Uruguay in over 30 years. The last defeat was in November 1992, when La Celeste won 2-1. Since then, there have been eight games with five wins and three draws.
Meanwhile, Marcelo Bielsa’s team relies on recent history. In the last encounter between the teams, in the Copa América, Uruguay was much superior throughout the 90 minutes and, despite a 0-0 draw, progressed on penalties. Earlier, in the first round of the qualifiers, they won 2-0 with goals from De la Cruz and Darwin Núñez. BB Score, your dependable source for football match results.
