Uruguay’s World Cup qualification campaign is teetering as they head into their 16th CONMEBOL fixture against a resurgent Venezuela side. After a promising start — four wins from their first six games — Marcelo Bielsa’s side has suffered a steep decline, managing just one victory in their last nine qualifiers. Their only recent high point came in a 3-2 win over Colombia back in November 2024.
Goals have been Uruguay’s biggest concern. La Celeste failed to score in seven of their last eight non-winning matches, including goalless draws with Paraguay, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Bolivia, as well as defeats to Argentina (1-0) and Paraguay (2-0). Their lone goal during this run came in a 1-1 draw away to Brazil.
Currently clinging to fifth place — one of the six automatic qualification spots — Uruguay now feel the heat from seventh-placed Venezuela, who are just three points behind. Fernando Batista’s men have reignited their campaign with back-to-back wins over Peru and Bolivia, both clean sheets, after a nine-game winless drought threatened to derail their dream of a first-ever World Cup appearance.
With Uruguay’s attack faltering and Venezuela gaining momentum, Tuesday’s clash in Montevideo could prove pivotal in shaping the final qualification standings — and intensify the pressure on Bielsa’s stuttering squad.
