Four months after Uruguay defeated Brazil in the Copa América 2024 quarterfinals, the two sides are set to clash in their final 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifying match of the calendar year.
Unlike Uruguay, who completed a thrilling 3–2 comeback victory against Colombia, Brazil collected just one point in its last game. The Seleção only managed a 1–1 draw with Venezuela at the Estadio Monumental de Maturín after Vinícius Júnior failed to convert from the spot.
Dorival Júnior's side remains in fourth place among the 10 CONMEBOL teams vying for spots at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but a poor result against Uruguay could see Brazil fall down the standings and possibly even out of the top six. Without Rodrygo, Éder Militão, Alisson and Bremer due to injury, the hosts face their toughest test since Copa América 2024 as they welcome La Celeste to Brazil.
Vanderson will also miss out on Tuesday's match after receiving a one-game suspension for yellow card accumulation.
Here's what Brazil's XI could look like against Uruguay on Nov. 19.
