Updated: July 03, 2023 at 6:05 pm GMT+1

We have a range of World Cup odds and picks available across every team, group and game of the tournament in Qatar. Here is how we think Uruguay will fare at the World Cup, and which betting odds are currently standing out to us.

Since Diego Alonso succeeded Oscar Tabarez, Uruguay has been resurgent, and they will be looking to create a stir in Qatar.

The two-time World Cup champions have left an indelible mark on the history of the competition ever since they first hosted the event in 1930, so it will be fascinating to see how they fare.

Uruguay Odds and Betting Tips

Uruguay are eliminated from the World Cup on goals scored, after ending the group stage with one win, one draw and one defeat for four points.

That left them tied with South Korea, who scored more goals, and have gone through based on that.

Uruguay 2022 World Cup Squad

Here is the confirmed Uruguay 2022 World Cup squad for the tournament in Qatar.

Goalkepeepers: Fernando Muslera (Galatasaray), Sergio Rochet (Nacional), Sebastian Sosa (Independiente).
Defenders: Ronald Araujo (Barcelona), Martin Caceres (LA Galaxy), Sebastian Coates (Sporting Lisbon), Jose Gimenez (Atletico Madrid), Diego Godin (Velez Sarsfield), Mathias Olivera (Napoli), Jose Rodriguez (Nacional), Guillermo Varela (Flamengo), Matias Vina (Roma).
Midfielders: Rodrigo Bentancur (Tottenham), Nicolas De Cruz (River Plate), Facundo Pellistri (Man Utd), Lucas Torreira (Galatasaray), Manuel Ugarte (Sporting Lisbon), Federico Valverde (Real Madrid), Matias Vecino (Lazio).
Forwards: Luis Suarez (Nacional), Darwin Nunez (Liverpool), Maxi Gomez (Trabzonspor), Edinson Cavani (Valencia), Agustin Canobbio (Athletico Paranense), Giorgian De Arrascaeta (Flamengo), Facundo Torres (Orlando City).

With a nice blend of youth and experience, Uruguay is well balanced and they should provide plenty of entertainment. The focal point remains Luis Suarez, who is a warhorse, but he has plenty of bite (excuse the pun!) and he can be a real nuisance for most defenders. He is usually deadly in front of goal and he has this uncanny knack for being in the right place at the right time. Suarez is Uruguay’s all-time leading goalscorer, so the burden of expectation will be on him to deliver, but he will relish that.

Meanwhile, Darwin Nunez is one of the most promising forwards in Europe, and it is perhaps no surprise that Liverpool saw something in him to snap up his services during the summer transfer window. The 23-year-old can play as a lone forward, but he can drag defenders out of position, and he could form a telepathic partnership with Suarez. If he’s given a sniff in front of goal, Nunez will punish most teams so he could be Uruguay’s trump card in Qatar.
