Match Analysis: Over 1.5 Goals
England enters this fixture following a dominant period in late 2025. Their ability to consistently hit the Over 1.5 line is primarily driven by an elite attacking unit that averaged 2.8 goals per game during their recent qualifying campaign. Notably, they managed to clear this line in all of their last five matches, including high-scoring results against Latvia (5–0) and Serbia (5–0).
Uruguay presents a more varied statistical profile. While they achieved several low-scoring tactical draws against South American rivals, their recent friendly against the USA ended in a 5–1 scoreline, proving that when playing outside of high-pressure qualifiers, their matches tend to open up significantly.
