England vs Uruguay, Betting Tips & Odds – International Football Tips

Published on March 25th, 2026

England will look to begin their preparations for this summer’s World Cup by seeing off Uruguay at Wembley on Friday night. Thomas Tuchel will shuffle his pack between this contest and Tuesday’s visit from Japan , as he seeks to explore all options prior to heading to the United States in June.

However, the Three Lions have been pretty much clinical with the German in charge, winning nine of 10 games and keeping a clean sheet in all of those victories.

England vs Uruguay head-to-head record

These teams have met 11 times before, with Uruguay coming out on top five times, while England have enjoyed three victories.

Their most recent encounter came at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil , where the Three Lions suffered an early exit after losing 2-1 to La Celeste , with Luis Suarez bagging a brace either side of a Wayne Rooney strike.

England Form Guide

Tuchel had a tough act to follow after Gareth Southgate led England to World Cup semi-final and quarter-final appearances, as well as two European Championship finals, but he has risen to the challenge so far. The Three Lions cruised through a World Cup qualifying group featuring Albania , Serbia , Latvia and Andorra with eight straight wins, scoring 22 goals and conceding none.

Some of the performances were more workmanlike than spectacular, although a 5-0 thrashing of Serbia in Belgrade stands out as an exceptional display.

In six of those games, plus a 3-0 friendly win over Wales at Wembley , Tuchel’s men were ahead at half-time and full-time, so 13/10 for that bet to come in again is another solid option from the England vs Uruguay odds.

Uruguay Form Guide

Under mercurial former Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa , Uruguay also enjoyed a relatively comfortable World Cup qualifying campaign, finishing fourth in the South American section. The highlights were back-to-back 2-0 victories over Brazil at home and Argentina away, but those games were in the latter stages of 2023, and La Celeste’s form last year was less convincing.

Home wins over Venezuela and Peru saw them safely through to the finals, but Argentina prevailed 1-0 in Montevideo , and Uruguay failed to score on trips to Bolivia , Paraguay and Chile . There have since been laboured friendly triumphs over the Dominican Republic and Uzbekistan , a goalless stalemate in Mexico and a 5-1 drubbing by the USA , albeit with a much-changed line-up.

Uruguay do have some world-class players in their squad, notably Atletico Madrid defender Jose Maria Gimenez and Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde. Manuel Ugarte , Darwin Nunez and Facundo Pellistri are other familiar faces, and they are a very respectable 16th in the FIFA rankings. However, the Three Lions are 11 spots higher and have home advantage, so 16/5 for them to win by exactly two goals completes our England vs Uruguay betting tips.
