Wales take on Uruguay in the China Cup final on Monday and George Pitts is backing the South American nation to come out on top.
Wales v Uruguay (1135 BST, BBC One Wales)
Ryan Giggs will be looking to make it two wins from two as Wales manager when he comes up against Uruguay on Monday.
The two nations meet in the final of the four-team China Cup.
Wales cruised to a 6-0 win over the tournament hosts, with Gareth Bale hitting a hat-trick to become his country’s all-time top scorer with 29 goals – a feat he described as ‘the best achievement of his career.
Sam Vokes also netted a double while Harry Wilson was on the scoresheet in Thursday's goal-fest and both teams to score in both halves of Monday’s meeting is priced at a tempting 14/1.
Wales hit the ground running under Manchester United legend Giggs, taking charge of his first game since replacing Chris Coleman in the hotseat. But the 14th-placed nation will face a much tougher task when they come up against Uruguay, who are 17th and well capable of turning out world-class performances on their day.
The South American nation are preparing for the summer’s World Cup in Russia, where they are in Group A with Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Russia.
Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani netted first-half goals in their semi-final win over Czech Republic and I fancy them to come out victorious in their first competitive meeting with Wales.
Managed by the well-travelled Oscar Tabarez since 2006, they have performed well in recent major tournaments with the likes of Suarez and Cavani among the world’s best forwards and they are evens to win this clash.
Uruguay to win the match in 90 minutes and both teams to score looks a great price at 10/3, or if you want to avoid both teams scoring and opt for Uruguay and over 2.5 goals then 15/8 still looks worth a look.
Score prediction: Wales 1-3 Uruguay (Sky Bet's odds: 14/1)
Best bet: Uruguay to win and both teams to score at 11/4
Alternative: Uruguay to win 3-0, 3-1 or 3-2 at 6/1
