Brazil and Uruguay resume their FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifying campaigns on Tuesday with a clash in Salvador, Bahia. Brazil, currently fourth in the CONMEBOL standings, faces second-placed Uruguay in a high-stakes encounter. Dorival Junior's Selecao aims to close the gap on Marcelo Bielsa's Celeste, potentially moving up depending on Colombia's result. Brazil recently drew 1-1 with Venezuela, while Uruguay edged past Colombia 3-2 to secure their position.

In Brazil’s match against Venezuela, Raphinha gave the Selecao an early lead, but they were forced to settle for a draw. Brazil has lost its last two encounters with Uruguay, including a 2024 Copa America quarterfinal defeat this past summer. Uruguay also triumphed 2-0 in their previous qualifying meeting last October, a result Brazil will look to avenge. Despite Brazil’s five World Cup titles, their last victory came in 2002, with quarterfinal exits in the previous two tournaments.

Uruguay, meanwhile, entered this match on a high after Manuel Ugarte’s dramatic late winner secured their 3-2 victory over Colombia. The two-time world champions Celeste last lifted the trophy in 1950 and exited at the quarterfinal stage in 2022, mirroring Brazil. Expectations are high for Bielsa’s squad in 2026. The win against Colombia marked Uruguay’s first victory since their Copa America third-place playoff success over Canada, following four draws in their previous six matches.
