Second-placed Brazil will be hoping to catch Argentina at the top of the standings as they prepare to face Uruguay in a CONMEBOL World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.
The Brazilians started their campaign with a 5-1 win over Bolivia and then followed that up with a narrow win over Peru. In their third game however, they were held by Venezuela.
Uruguay's only win in their three matches so far came in the opener against Chile. They lost to Ecuador and were held by Colombia but will hope to pull off an upset against Brazil who are the favourites to win.
