🏟 Stadium: Allegiant Stadium (Paradise, NV)

Uruguay fans are buzzing with excitement as their team shows promise to end a 13-year Copa América title drought. The Sky Blues, who haven't reached a semi-final since their 2011 victory, have dominated the competition, winning all three matches and topping their group for only the second time since 1995 - a year they also claimed the title.

The team's confidence is soaring after a 1-0 victory over the United States, which not only eliminated the tournament hosts but also extended Uruguay's winning streak to six competitive internationals, their best run since 2018.

However, history favors Brazil in this matchup, with the Samba Boys losing just one of their last 13 encounters against Uruguay (W9, D3). Despite this, Brazil's performance in the tournament has been less than stellar, with their sole victory over Paraguay sandwiched between draws against Costa Rica and Colombia.

The 1-1 draw with Colombia came at a cost, as Vinicius Junior's yellow card suspension adds to Brazil's offensive woes, with Neymar already sidelined. Manager Dorival Júnior sees this as an opportunity for other squad members to step up, but concerns linger about Brazil's attacking prowess, having failed to score in half of their last six competitive internationals, including a 2-0 loss to Uruguay.

💡Prediction: This quarter-final clash promises to be a tightly contested affair between a resurgent Uruguay and a somewhat struggling Brazil. Uruguay's impressive form and Brazil's recent offensive challenges could lead to a low-scoring, tactical battle. Uruguay's defensive solidity, coupled with their counter-attacking prowess, might give them an edge. However, Brazil's quality and tournament experience cannot be underestimated. Expect a cagey first half, with the game potentially opening up in the second. A 1-0 victory for Uruguay seems plausible, with the possibility of extra time or penalties if Brazil manages to equalize.
