Brazil will look to settle the score against Uruguay in a South American World Cup qualifier, hoping to avenge their Copa America exit earlier this year.
The last encounter between the two teams took place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, where Brazil was eliminated after a goalless draw ended in a penalty shootout loss to Marcelo Bielsa's squad.
Heading into November’s international fixtures, Brazil has regained momentum in their World Cup qualifying campaign. The five-time world champions started with a shaky record, losing four of their first eight games and risking an unprecedented failure to qualify.
However, back-to-back victories over Chile and Peru in October have propelled Dorival Junior's side to fourth place in CONMEBOL’s 10-team standings. The top six teams will secure direct spots in the 2026 World Cup.
Meanwhile, Uruguay enters this round of matches sitting third in the table but struggling for form. La Celeste hasn't won or scored in their last four qualifiers, a concerning drought they’ll aim to end against Brazil.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Brazil vs. Uruguay lineups, team news
Brazil are still without first-choice goalkeeper Alisson who is sidelined with a hamstring injury. Man City shot-stopper Ederson will continue in goal in his absence, while Gerson retains his place in the XI with Lucas Paqueta once again on the bench for a second time this international window.
Rodrygo, who was forced off early in Brazil’s recent match against Osasuna, will remain unavailable for some time, as will defenders Eder Militao and Bremer who are both out with ACL injuries.
The hosts will also have Lucas Beraldo, Fabricio Bruno, or Alex Telles unavailable for this fixture. Estevao Willian will also miss out due to a lack of match fitness. Vanderson is suspended.

For Uruguay, Darwin Nunez will lead the attack while his CONMEBOL suspension remains in limbo thanks to an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Ronald Araujo is suspended, but has accepted it to serve while he remains out with a serious hamstring injury.
Uruguay will need to carefully manage the disciplinary situation of several key players. Manuel Ugarte, Santiago Bueno, Nahitan Nandez, and Jose Maria Gimenez are all one booking away from suspension.

Brazil vs. Uruguay Prediction
Uruguay's ongoing winless streak since their Copa America elimination raises serious concerns as they prepare for a challenging away clash against Brazil.

Tuesday's encounter has the makings of a tightly contested battle, making a draw a plausible prediction.
