Prediction United States vs Uruguay 2025 – Betting Tips for the Friendly International on 19/11/2025

A high-stakes friendly at Raymond James Stadium

The United States welcome Uruguay to Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium on November 19, 2025, in what promises to be a lively friendly that carries more than just warm-up significance. The home side arrive fresh from a 2-1 victory over Paraguay and have posted an encouraging run of form with seven wins, one draw and two defeats in their last ten matches. That momentum at home is reflected in the attacking numbers: an impressive 112 total shots across recent fixtures, 46 on target and an average of 12.44 shots per game. The home crowd of a near-66,890-capacity stadium can expect a side that presses forward and creates chances.

Uruguay, meanwhile, are no strangers to grinding results on the road. Their recent string shows solidity — wins over Uzbekistan and the Dominican Republic and a scoreless draw with Mexico on November 16. Odds currently paint Uruguay as the marginal pick to take all three points (away odds 2.44), and their head-to-head history is a clear reminder of their ability to keep the United States at bay: the Copa America meeting in 2024 ended 1-0 in Uruguay’s favour. Uruguay’s away metrics suggest efficiency with fewer total shots but enough cutting quality; they’ve also kept two clean sheets recently and tend to be compact and disciplined.

What the numbers say about goals and patterns

Statistically this fixture leans toward goals at both ends. The United States’ home fixtures show a strong trend for both teams scoring, and Uruguay’s recent away performances also indicate an appetite to nick goals in open play. While the American side generates a high volume of attempts and dangerous attacks, the visitors compensate with defensive resilience and tactical discipline. Expected drama is heightened by recent best performers: Maximilian Arfsten was the standout in the U.S. win over Paraguay, while Mathías Olivera earned top marks for Uruguay in their stalemate against Mexico — two names already influencing their national sides’ rhythms.

Bookmakers have settled on a tight market: the draw and both match winners are closely priced, signalling a contest that could hinge on small margins and in-game moments. Given the home side’s attacking footprint and Uruguay’s pragmatic approach, this clash looks set to be competitive, open and potentially decided by a single decisive chance.
