Argentina vs Uruguay prediction
World Champions Argentina will look to maintain their 100% start to the 2026 World Cup qualifiers when they welcome Uruguay in this 5th round of games. La Albiceleste have won all four of their fixtures so far while keeping clean sheets in all of them and scoring 7 goals in the process. A first-half brace from Messi was enough to earn them an easy 2-0 win over Peru away at Estadio Nacional de Lima last time out to open up a 5-point cushion at the top. They are yet to get really tested and this visit of Uruguay might well be the first real test.
Uruguay are second on the log with 7 points from their 4 group matches. Marcelo Bielsa’s side pulled off a major upset last time out as they defeated Brazil 2-0 in Montevideo to end the South American giants eight year eight-year-long 18-match unbeaten away run in the World Cup Qualifiers. That win certainly gives them a sense of belief coming into this match and they will be hoping to get something out of this game too.
Argentina has dominated this fixture in recent years. They haven’t lost to Uruguay since 2015 and have actually won the last three straight encounters between them. Bearing this in mind and looking at their form coming into this match, we are inclined to back the home team to win on the draw no-bet option as our opening Argentina vs Uruguay prediction here.

Prediction 3: Messi Anytime Scorer
Messi has scored in 2 of the 3 games he has suited up for in this competition, including the brace against Peru last time out. His motor seems to still be running and he is still picking up accolades including the Balon D’Or that he won for his exploits locally and internationally in the last year. We expect him to lead the lines here and we feel there is value in picking Messi to Score Anytime as our final Argentina vs Uruguay prediction
