Uruguay needed a World Cup Playoff to qualify and probably arrive at the World Cup as the weakest South American nation.

Uruguay needed to World Cup Playoffs to qualify for the World Cup Finals and although they have some top players, they lack strength in depth.
Uruguay have shown that they can give some of the best sides in South America a good game but they may just fall short of the quality needed to get out of the group stage.
Back Uruguay's stage of elimination to be the Group Stage
Uruguay's World Cup Odds perhaps don't quite do justice to some of the stars they have and they are maybe overpriced but don't expect them to go too far, if they have a good tournament they will reach the First Knockout Round.
Uruguay look highly likely to come bottom of their group with France, World Cup hosts South Africa and strong outsiders Mexico in their group and that is the best bet to have on Betfair.
Recommended Bet: Back Uruguay to finish fourth in their group on Betfair.
Although we are predicting a disappointing tournament for Uruguay you wouldn't lose much buying them and seeing them fail at the first hurdle but there is an outside chance they could sneak through so buying Uruguay isn't the worst bet.
