Every once in a while, the leagues around the world take a break to allow the countries grapple for absolute supremacy. Between all these, there are friendly matches which are used to test the ability of several nations. When Brazil meets Uruguay during this international break, it would be more than just a friendly game.
There is no hiding the fact that both countries come from the same region and are no doubt great rivals. Therefore, there would be bragging rights involved in each game that is played against each other. In this friendly game which is set to be played at the Emirates stadium, it promises to be more of the same.
The match would be made even more entertaining because most teams would be using their senior members with the exception of some players which we would mention later. Brazil would be confident coming into this match due to their recent exploits when it comes to the friendly matches they have played. They have won all of their last four games that have been performed in friendlies, and the process did not even concede once. It should be noted that this winning streak is also inclusive of their narrow win against Messi's Argentina. However, they find it surprisingly harder to dispatch other small countries like Saud Arabia in the matches leading up to this one. Uruguay would be hoping that their inability to effect such situations which included smaller teams would be enough to make them doubt their selves going into this match as everyone knows just how good of a team Brazil can be on their day.
The history seems to be more on Brazil's side as they have absolutely steamrollered their opponents in the previous matches which have been played. Brazil has won the five out of the last six matches that have been played. The good thing about this matches is that they have recorded a high number of goals. This surely would keep the neutral in anticipation of some great football in London.
Line-Ups
When it comes to the lineups, it is expected that Brazil would go for their top players. Players like Neymar, Marcelo, and Willian, are all expected to start while Coutinho would miss out on this one. They would be hoping that the presence of such players would be able to spur them on to victory against an Uruguayan team which has proven to have a very weak defense in recent times. For Uruguay, they would be hoping to put aside their defensive issues when coming into this game with the hopes of gaining more. They would be hoping that such players like Luca and Suarez are in devastating form going into this match.
The match which is billed to be at the Emirates promises to be an excellent avenue for both sets of coaches to test how far they have gone. It also promises to be an entertaining match for neutrals who would come expecting a goal fest.
