The South Americans managed to get a place among the best four by eliminating The Yanks with a comfortable 2-0. On the other side, the Europeans created an unexpected sensation in the quarter-finals, as they sent four-time world champions Brazil Under-20s home in a five-goal thriller (3-2).

Uruguay U20 vs Israel U20 Betting Tips: Team1 to Win

The two national under-20 teams have never measured their strengths until now, even in friendly matches. Therefore, we should not expect a high-scoring affair, as both teams will enter the match very cautiously. But, the experience of playing such games can make a difference, and that's exactly where the Uruguayans have an advantage.

The fans should also play a key role in this clash, and there is no doubt that the vast majority will be on the side of the Uruguayans, as they are the only remaining South American national team. A lot of factors are in favor of Le Celeste, who just need to prove their worth on the field and secure the third final in their history.

By the way, the Uruguayans enter the semi-final showdown in top form, since they managed to secure four successes from five appearances (excluding the 2-3 loss against England). What has adorned them the most in the so far edition of the World Cup is a strong defensive line that has kept a clean sheet in each of the mentioned victories.

At the same time, Le Celeste's attacking zone looks impressive, which is best shown by the ten goals scored, or an average of two per match. There is no doubt that Israel's defense will be seriously tested, especially if we say that they managed to kept a calm net only once out of five challenges at the World Cup so far.

By eliminating one of the main contenders for the world crown, Brazil, the Israelis made it clear to everyone that they should not be underestimated at any cost. Although this is only their first appearance in the final stage of the WC, The Sky Blues did not seem scared for a moment. In fact, they have found the back of the net in each of their five games in the tournament so far.

Israel may have shocked the Selecao, but we should not forget that a huge amount of energy was spent and it would be too much for them to cross out the remaining representative from South America. We feel that the effects of fatigue will be visible on the pitch, which is why we expect Uruguay to dominate and emerge victorious!
