Uruguay have struggled in recent years, though Óscar Tabárez's side have enjoyed a surprisingly successful start to their World Cup qualifying campaign so far. They find themselves top of the South American group after eight matches, and will be looking to extend their one-point lead over second-place Brazil when they go head-to-head with Venezuela in Montevideo on Thursday.

It’s certainly a game that the hosts will be expecting to win, with Venezuela living up to their reputation as traditionally one of South America’s weakest international outfits. They sit rock bottom of the group, having picked up just two points from their opening eight games. They have never managed to win a game away in Uruguay, and need to pull off a big upset if they’re to rewrite the history books this time around.
