November 20, 2024 02:01Match PreviewFive-time World champion Brazil will look to return to winning ways when it plays arch-rival Uruguay in their FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifier at the Arena Fonte Nova in Brazil on Tuesday.Dorival Junior’s boys were held to a 1-1 draw in their previous match when Telasco Segovia equalised within three minutes of the Raphina’s opening strike. Against Uruguay, that, avoiding a quick equaliser, will be something they will look to ensure, especially against a team coached by Marcelo Bielsa, who is known to design teams for quick counterattacks.Raphinha will know it more than most, having played under the Argentina at Leeds United, where he earned promotion to the Premier League with Bielsa in charge.
