Uruguay, on the other hand, is presently led by former Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Mexico vs Uruguay Prediction

While both sides have maintained their dominance on the international stage, Mexico will have a better chance in this friendly against a young Uruguay side. They claimed three victories in their final seven matches in 2023. El Tricolor sustained a defeat in the CONCACAF Nations League final against United States earlier this year.

Uruguay, meanwhile, will look to assert their dominance in the Copa America this time. The 16-time winners were without Marcelo Bielsa in their last tie against Costa Rica and the result of this game was a draw. The South American squad will also have some marquee first-team players return to the first-team fold.

Predicted Score: Mexico 1-3 Uruguay
