Montevideo, Uruguay – See ehn, you go need big popcorn for this match wey dey come! Uruguay wan rebrand dem self as dem dey face Venezuela dis Tuesday night for di final stage of di South American qualifiers for di 2026 World Cup. Bentancur don return from suspension, and e carry hope of plenty goals for di Uruguayan fans wey dey vex after dem lose to Paraguay 2-0. Na four matches wey dem no fit win, and dem dey scramble for points wey go fit secure dem place for di World Cup.
Di Celeste dey sit fifth for di table with 21 points, and dem get same points like Colombia but dem differ for goal margin – no be small wahala! Meanwhile, di Vinotinto get small confidence as dem don win two matches back to back and dey jostle for di playoff spot with 18 points for seventh place. Dem now dey see dis match as a do-or-die matter, wey be like say dem dey prepare to drag dem self inside World Cup history.
As Bentancur dey yarn, him sabi say na serious match wey dem go face. “Dem go come to play for dem life because if dem win, e go mean say dem don catch up to us for di points,” e talk to journalists. He also admit say di gaffer Marcelo Bielsa dey feel di heat, because di team no dey create enough chances. “We no dey generate danger,” na wetin Bielsa talk, and dat na serious matter. Di last time Uruguay score na last year November – no be joke at all!
Your guys wey dey play for midfield, Bentancur, don dey rally di team to get di three points wey go fit make dem smile again. But abeg, dem go miss Federico Valverde and Darwin Núñez who dey suspended, so na high time for di other boys make dem step up o!
Di coach for Venezuela, Fernando Batista, don begin plan for di match of life too. “We get chance mathematically to target 2026,” he talk as e dey prepare dem team for di battle ahead. E no go be jolly jolly for di Uruguayan defense, wey go need to handle Salomón Rondón wey dey hot like fire! Everybody dey follow di tall tale of Venezuela wey dem fit finally shake off di ‘no World Cup’ curse.
All di same, I wan see wetin go happen for dis match. Would Uruguay regain dem glory? Or would Venezuela burst dem bubble? One thing we sabi be say, enter show time go dey electrifying as both teams dey fight to no end.
