England have won to nil in 6 consecutive games.
England have scored 2+ goals in their last 6 matches.
Uruguay have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 away games.

H2H

Uruguay have a 5-3 advantage against England, alongside three draws.

England Dominated in World Cup Qualifying

England are in strong long-term form, winning 12 of their last 13, conceding just four goals.

The Three Lions impressed during their 2026 World Cup Qualification campaign and won all eight of their matches. Thomas Tuchel’s side scored 22 goals and kept a clean sheet in each game.

England are on a six-match winning streak, including three consecutive home wins to nil. The Three Lions beat Andorra 2-0, Wales 3-0 and Serbia 2-0.

Tuchel’s outfit ended their qualification campaign with a 2-0 away win in Albania. England had 70% possession, 1.86-0.49 XG and Harry Kane scored twice.

Uruguay Struggle in Away Matches

Marcelo Bielsa’s Uruguay are inconsistent, failing to win in seven of their last 11 matches in all competitions.

The Sky Blues have been poor on the road recently. They were winless in seven consecutive matches away and failed to score in five matches.

Bielsa’s team failed to win in their two November friendlies. Uruguay drew 0-0 in Mexico, having just 0.08 XG.

The South American side then lost 5-1 against the USA. Uruguay conceded four first-half goals and Giorgian De Arrascaeta pulled one back before the USA netted a fifth in the second period.
