The Uruguayan basketball team faces the last window of the Qualifiers this week for the World Cup in Indonesia, the Philippines and Japan to be held this year. Rubén Magnano’s team will face this Wednesday to the United States and Sunday to Mexicoboth in the Arena Arena and to be played from the hour 21.10.
The first three of each of the two groups that are still in dispute and the best fourth qualify for the World Cup.
Uruguay’s chances of qualifying directly
The chances of direct qualification are remote. You have to beat the United States and Mexico and that both Puerto Rico and Mexico lose their remaining matches.
The United States is not classified mathematically and comes to Uruguay to seal its classification with a team of G League players.
Puerto Rico plays on Wednesday as a visitor against Brazil and on Sunday against Colombia. The Colombians will also be local on Wednesday against Mexico.
Colombia showed notable progress in these Qualifiers in which they beat Brazil in the first phase at home and Mexico as a visitor in the second round.
If they were even with a rival, Uruguay lost by 8 against Puerto Rico after beating them by the same difference in venue. With Mexico he lost by 20 in November so he is forced to thrash it.

| Colombia | 13 | 10 | 3 | 7 | 794 | 901 | -108 | 17 | 15 |
Uruguay’s chances of qualifying fourth
To qualify as the best fourth of the two groups, Uruguay is also playing a miracle. youThey also need to win both of their games and have the Dominican Republic, Venezuela or Argentina lose both of their games and there is a tie at 19 points. That will lead to the qualifier being the one with the best balance of points, a category where Uruguay is very far from those three teams with a -45.
Wherever you look, the celestial chances are slim. November losses to Mexico and Puerto Rico left Uruguay hanging by a thread. And that’s how he’s going to play at the Antel Arena against two northern powers.
