Overview
- Kickoff is 7 p.m. ET at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, with Universo carrying the match and Peacock streaming.
- The U.S. is unbeaten in four since a September loss to South Korea, most recently beating Paraguay 2-1 as Gio Reyna scored and assisted Folarin Balogun.
- Uruguay is six unbeaten, has allowed just one goal in that span, and drew Mexico 0-0 on Saturday under Marcelo Bielsa.
- Key U.S. absences include Christian Pulisic, Tim Weah, Tyler Adams and Antonee Robinson, while Uruguay is without Federico Valverde and Darwin Nunez.
- Previews indicate Pochettino will persist with three center backs, potentially rotating to give minutes to fringe options such as Ricardo Pepi, Haji Wright and Diego Luna, with many predicting a tight draw.
