Brazil will look to settle the score against Uruguay in a South American World Cup qualifier, hoping to avenge their Copa America exit earlier this year.
The last encounter between the two teams took place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, where Brazil was eliminated after a goalless draw ended in a penalty shootout loss to Marcelo Bielsa's squad.
Heading into November’s international fixtures, Brazil has regained momentum in their World Cup qualifying campaign. The five-time world champions started with a shaky record, losing four of their first eight games and risking an unprecedented failure to qualify.
However, back-to-back victories over Chile and Peru in October have propelled Dorival Junior's side to fourth place in CONMEBOL’s 10-team standings. The top six teams will secure direct spots in the 2026 World Cup.
Meanwhile, Uruguay enters this round of matches sitting third in the table but struggling for form. La Celeste hasn't won or scored in their last four qualifiers, a concerning drought they’ll aim to end against Brazil.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
