Uruguay-Brazil: lineups, absences and refereeing of the playoffs | Qualifiers – South America

The match takes place at 8 pm (Brasilia time), at the Centenario Stadium in Montevideo, and is valid for the fourth round of the competition.

Brazil’s last loss to Celeste came in 2001, in Felipão’s debut as a coach. The team lost 1-0, reaching four consecutive losses in the standings on that occasion. Later, he would recover and guarantee his place in the Cup of Korea and Japan, where he won the penta.

Since then, the classic has been played ten more times, with five draws and five Brazilian victories, the last one in 2018, 1-0, in a friendly in England.

Both selections arrive packaged. Brazil did not perform well last Friday, but beat Venezuela 1-0 and achieved its third victory in the playoffs. Uruguay, which had been defeated by Ecuador in the previous round, beat Colombia, away from home, with authority: 3-0.

Uruguay: coach Óscar Tabárez

Celeste suffered a last minute embezzlement. Luisito Suárez, top scorer in the playoffs with four goals, tested positive and left Cavani an “orphan” in the strong attacking pair they have formed for so many years. The replacement must be the boy Darwin Sanchéz, 21, from Benfica.

The “Maestro” Tabárez should take to the field against Brazil a formation very similar to the one that beat Colombia last Friday. The only change will be on the left side, where Matías Viña from Palmeire, diagnosed with Covid-19, will be replaced by Agustín Oliveros.

Oliveros is a National revelation, he is only 22 years old and will make his debut with the Uruguayan team. He was a starter in the Pre-Olympic tournament, played earlier this year by U23 teams.

Embezzlement: Federico Valverde, Maximiliano Gómez, Sebastián Coates and Martín Silva (all bruised), Matías Vinã, Rodrigo Muñoz and Luis Suárez (Covid-19)

The National Team has had its best start in qualifying since 1981, having won the first three matches, against Bolivia, Peru and Venezuela.

Now, Brazil is preparing for a different game, in which its defense will be more in demand, but on the other hand it hopes to have more space to attack.

The only doubt in the Canarian squad is in the middle of the field. Allan has complained of pain in recent days, although he trained the day before the game. If he cannot act, he will be replaced by Arthur.

Once again, coach Tite will not be able to count on his main player: Neymar. This will be the 13th of 26 post-World Cup matches in Russia in which the star will miss the national team.

Embezzlement: Éder Militão, Rodrigo Caio, Casemiro, Fabinho and Phillipe Coutinho (cut before the presentation), Neymar (muscle injury), Gabriel Menino (Covid-19) and Pedro (muscle injury).
