Copa America 2011 – Uruguay versus Chile: Match Preview
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 as part of their Group C tie. Both the teams have already played one match each in the Copa America and now they face off against each
other in their second encounter. Thus let’s take a look at how both of them might line up in order to gain all three points from this tie...
Uruguay
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oscar-c28720 Tabarez’s side are on the down right now. They failed to win their opening encounter against Peru despite fielding Diego Forlan, Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani in the same formation. The strategy back fired for Tabarez and
now Uruguay find themselves in a precarious situation which demands that the FIFA 2010 World Cup semi-finalists should avoid defeat against Chile if they want to progress to the knock-out stages of Copa http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390.
As a part of group C, Uruguay have already wasted their chances of scoring an easy win by drawing against Peru and now they will face off against a youthful Mexican side but before that they have to steer clear of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chile-c2871, who are
in top form at the moment. With just a single point from a single match in the group stages, Uruguay are third in their group at the moment. Everything now depends on their encounter against Chile.
Chile
At the top of Group C and going strong right now, the South American underdogs need a win against Uruguay to seal a place in the knockout stages of Copa America. Chile won their first match of the tournament against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mexico-c2956 by scoring
2-1 victory. It was a fantastic win for the FIFA 2010 World Cup round of sixteen team as they ran rampant against a young Mexican side which provided them with stiff competition. Chile are an intimidating outfit with aggressive players in their first team
line up.
Group C toppers have three points right now as they won their first match of Copa America competition and they are unbeaten in their last five matches. Alexis Sanchez and co. will be going out for a win against Uruguay who are
there for the taking if their strikers misfire once again. Chile did gain a win over Uruguay way back in November of 2010 in an international friendly encounter when they defeated Oscar Tabarez’s side by two goals to nil.
Team News
Uruguay will once again look towards Diego Forlan and Luis Suarez to fire them through to a win. The formidable striking duo failed to make a collective impact against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Edinson-Cavani-c11955 might

Chile will start with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arturo-Vidal-c6760 in the midfield department. Sanchez will perform the creative duties whilst Vidal will clean up in front of the back line for the South American underdogs who might upset Uruguay
with a win.
