Uruguay and Chile will square up at Estadio Centenario in Montevideo as the South American World Cup qualifying series begins in full swing.

Uruguay became the first country in the sport’s history to win the World Cup when it hosted the tournament in 1930.

Although the country has not been at the best at Mondial in recent years, a lot is expected with the current crop of players in the team. At the last edition in Qatar, La Celeste were eliminated in the group stages.

Liverpool star Darwin Nunez is expected to lead the attack for Marcelo Bielsa’s team.

Chile is a household name in South American football. Although not the biggest on the world stage, they’ve also flown the continent flag nine times, with their last entry in 2014.
