Key Factors: The market odds and API model both strongly favor Uruguay, with the model predicting a Uruguay win and advising a double chance on draw or Uruguay. The weather conditions (patchy light rain) favor a physical style, which suits Uruguay's robust approach. No significant injuries affect either side.
