Uruguay on top: we expect them to avoid defeat and do most of the shooting.
Uruguay go into this International friendlies match as strong favourites on our numbers: 95% to win, against 1% for Dominican Republic and 4% for a draw. If you want one score, our predicted score is Uruguay 3–0 Dominican Republic, at 15%. Our expected goals are 3.9 for Uruguay and 0.3 for Dominican Republic, 4.2 in all. There is a 23% chance both sides score and three or more goals is 79%.
They have met once on our records, and it ended Uruguay 1–0 Dominican Republic, in Oct 2025.
We expect Uruguay to have 26.3 shots (9.6 on target) and Dominican Republic 8.3 (2.4 on target), and corners at 8.7 to 1.9. That points to Uruguay doing more of the attacking. For Bawler's pick we have gone with Uruguay or Draw, Uruguay Over 20.5 Shots, Uruguay Over 6.5 Shots on Target and Uruguay Over 5.5 Corners.
