Riding high from an exhilarating 4-0 victory over Mexico, Uruguay aims to continue their winning streak as they face Panama at Hard Rock Stadium. La Celeste delivered an outstanding performance in their last warm-up match, but coach Marcelo Bielsa must caution his team against overconfidence. Notably, Boca Juniors forward Edinson Cavani is absent from the squad, but key players such as Federico Valverde, Luis Suarez, Darwin Nunez, and Rodrigo Bentancur are included.
Krasnodar defender Lucas Olaza has recovered from a minor injury. Meanwhile, Panama is coming off a 1-0 defeat to Paraguay in their recent friendly. Considering Uruguayโs winning record in their last three encounters with Panama, a home win seems highly probable. Keep an eye on Panamaโs Anibal Godoy, who boasts 130 caps for the national team.
Prediction: 2-0
