Argentina v Uruguay – Copa America 17 June 2015

Late of Saturday night, Argentina somehow managed to let go of a 2-0 lead from their first game against Paraguay. After cruising in front with goals from Sergio Agüero and Leo Messi, respectively, in the first 45 minutes, the Argentines finished with a 2-2 draw after conceding twice in the second half.

Uruguay hold a two-point lead over Argentina in Group B and could dash their Copa America aspirations with a victory. However, any expectations should be tempered following Uruguay’s narrow 1-0 win against Jamaica on Saturday. Deprived of the injured Luis Suárez, they found it difficult to score.

Expectations

None of the Copa America’s best teams have been playing particularly well ahead of the tournament, but that could change if either Argentina or Uruguay are able to triumph in this game.

In making a case for Argentina, you have to admire the attacking front-line of Messi, Agüero, and Ángel Di María. Their devastating pace and creativity could prove extremely difficult for Uruguay to cope with.

Look further back the pitch, though, and there are defensive issues. Although centre-backs Ezequiel Garay and Nicolás Otamendi are highly regarded at their clubs, they have not yet formed a solid partnership for their country. They simply must perform better than they did against Venezuela.

Uruguay cannot compete with the dazzling array of attacking talents at the disposal of their Argentinian counterparts. Therefore, it is all the more damaging that leading striker Luis Suárez is absent with a new injury. Where Edinson Cavani has scored 27 from 73 appearances for his country, Suárez as managed 43 from 82.

The Uruguayans must look to solid contributors like Diego Godín, Álvaro Pereira, Maxi Pereira, Cristian Rodríguez, and Nicolás Lodeiro if they are to upset Argentina. Winning just 1-0 against Jamaica suggests that a counter-attacking approach would better suit them than trying to outperform Argentina’s blistering attack.
