Uruguay Win Group With Draw or Win
Uruguay have looked like one of the best teams in Copa America in their first two matches. They’re 2-0 and have scored seven goals while conceding just once. On Monday, they can clinch Group C by defeating or drawing against the USA.
The USA went down to ten men in Thursday’s 2-1 loss versus Panama and urgently needs a win.
With both teams needing a result but Uruguay in superb form, our USA vs. Uruguay score prediction is 2-1 in favor of Uruguay.

USA vs Uruguay Betting Preview
USA Preview
Tim Weah’s 18th minute red card in USA’s match against Panama on Thursday doomed the USMNT to playing down a man. Folarin Balogun scored an incredible left-footed strike to put the USA ahead, in the 22nd minute, but Panama scored goals in each half.
It was a disappointing result for the USA, who were -250 pregame favorites. The USA did defeat Bolivia 2-0 last Sunday, though. Now, the soccer standings show the USMNT are in second place in Copa America Group B, level on points but with a better goal difference than third-placed Panama.
With Weah out for the next match and goalkeeper Matt Turner possibly out injured, this will be a difficult match for the USA. A group stage exit likely means coach Gregg Berhalter loses his job, so this is a must-win match for the USA.
Balogun has managed to score in each match and they’ll need him to come up big again.
Uruguay Preview
Uruguay have cruised to two straight wins to open up Copa America 2024. First, Uruguay took down Panama 3-1 last Sunday and destroyed Bolivia 5-0 on Thursday. Both striker Darwin Nuñez, our Golden Boot pick, and winger Maximiliano Araujo have scored twice so far.
La Celeste look like one of the best soccer picks today and they’ve been superb under Marcelo Bielsa. They’re 9-3-2 under Bielsa and have lost only one of their last nine games. Nuñez has scored in seven straight matches with 10 goals on his streak.
Uruguay have beaten both Argentina and Brazil in the last 12 months and they’re not afraid of anyone. Their high-octane style is a joy to watch and they recently destroyed Mexico 2-1 in a friendly.

USA vs Uruguay Final Score Prediction
The USA need to win here. Needing to take attacking risks could leave the USA exposed on defense. Uruguay are well-positioned to take advantage, as Nuñez is one of the fastest strikers on the planet.
Uruguay are full of solid players and this is the best team the USA have faced in a major tournament since losing 3-1 to the Netherlands in the 2022 World Cup round of 16
We do think the USA will put up a fight but Uruguay will be too much to handle in the end. Again, our USA vs Uruguay score prediction is Uruguay 2, USA 1.
