The international friendly calendar always throws up some very interesting looking games and Wednesday’s fixture at the Stadio Carlo Castellani is one such contest. The sides featured in our Italy vs Uruguay preview below both have very different agendas in their mid-week exhibition match. It’s Italy’s last match before they resume their World Cup Qualifying campaign, while Uruguay don’t have another game scheduled until August.

Match Preview

Ahead of our Italy vs Uruguay betting tips and picks, the home side are unbeaten in eight, winning six and drawing two of their previous fixtures. Gian Piero Ventura’s team battered neighbouring San Marino 8-0 last time out, but a repeat of that scoreline against visiting Uruguay is highly unlikely.

• Italy 0-0 Germany
• Italy 2-0 Albania
• Netherlands 1-2 Italy
• Italy 8-0 San Marino

With four defeats in succession, it’s safe to say Uruguay aren’t exactly in flying form. Their latest defeat to an experimental Republic of Ireland side was the most galling of all. Before our Italy vs Uruguay predictions, manager Óscar Tabárez is sweating on the fitness of star strikers Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani.

• Chile 3-1 Uruguay
• Uruguay 1-4 Brazil
• Peru 2-1 Uruguay
• Republic of Ireland 3-1 Uruguay

Italy vs Uruguay Prediction and Betting Advice

It won’t surprise you to see the home team heavily favoured in our Italy vs Uruguay picks, and although they might be holding back a little given their more important World Cup Qualifier at the weekend, there will be enough motivation to perform with places in the team still to play for.

Italy are expected to triumph against a set of Uruguay players who are one game away from their summer holidays. I’m going for a comfortable home win.
