Uruguay

Uruguay football team at World Cup 2018 is sitting in a comfortable position right now, though not many people expect them to go far this year.

As a team that has won the trophy two times before, you could expect more from them, but the thing is that they haven’t been performing nearly as well as they did when they won for decades now.

As a result, odds on Uruguay winning World Cup 2018 aren’t big at all as it barely fits into the top 10 of the most likely candidates to dethrone Germany.

Let’s take a look at odds Uruguay World Cup 2018 more closely and the reasons why their odds aren’t so big.

Uruguay at World Cup 2018

Odds on Uruguay to win World Cup 2018 simply can’t be very high since they have only won half of their qualification matches and the team doesn’t have a whole lot of truly talented players for it to be versatile and adaptable to all kinds of different situations.

Then again, the victory count may not mean a whole lot since Brazil didn’t win a third of their matches either yet they have the best odds out of all the teams.

On the bright side, Uruguay was the second best team in CONMEBOL, which is pretty impressive. Unfortunately, the recent performance is not the only thing that influences Uruguay World Cup 2018 odds. The position in the tournament is also important.

Uruguay World Cup Fixtures

Uruguay will start at Russia World Cup 2018 with three group matches against Russia, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

Uruguay to win World Cup 2018 odds are the best among these four teams, but it doesn’t mean that they won’t have any difficulty playing against Russia and Egypt. Russia is playing at home, while Egypt has high hopes this year.

We do believe that they will qualify and advance to the round of 16, but regardless of their group position, their next opponent will almost surely be Spain or Portugal.

This diminishes odds on Uruguay winning 2018 World Cup quite a lot because they might simply not be strong enough to win against one of these teams.

Uruguay 2018 World Cup Odds

Betting odds Uruguay to win world Cup 2018 vary from 30/1 to 40/1 at various gambling sites online. This isn’t bad odds, but the best odds on this team are, as expected, given on the bet that it will be eliminated in the group of 16.

The latter odds are basically evens, while the next round odds get progressively lower up to the already mentioned odds for Uruguay to win World Cup 2018.

The team has a number of new players, though fans will still be able to see Luis Suarez and Cristian Rodriguez perform. As good as these players are, we don’t think they’re made of the winner material.

Odds Uruguay win World Cup 2018 are around 30/1, which isn’t that bad, but the most likely outcome is that the team will only reach the group of 16 this year.
