Wales vs Uruguay U20 Predictions - Wales to beat Uruguay in World Rugby U-20 Championship clash
Wales U20 are expected to secure a convincing victory against Uruguay U20 in their Pool A clash, following a hard-fought 25-24 win over Georgia. Uruguay struggled in their opener, losing 104-7 to South Africa and have won just one of their last four games. Given Uruguay's recent form and heavy defeats, Wales are tipped to cover the 42.5-point handicap with confidence. All signs indicate a strong Welsh performance and a difficult match ahead for Uruguay.
- Wales U20 narrowly beat Georgia 25-24 in their opener.
- Uruguay U20 lost 104-7 to South Africa and is in poor recent form.
- Wales are tipped to cover the handicap against Uruguay.

Wales vs Uruguay U20 Predictions
Wales are favourites against a Uruguay side that has struggled for form. My best bet is Wales to cover 42.5 handicap.
- Wales beat Georgia 25-24 in their opening match.
- Wales have won 3 of their last 6 matches.
- Uruguay lost 104-7 to South Africa in their opening match.
- Uruguay has lost three of the last four matches.
Head to Head
Wales will meet Uruguay for the first time.
Wales U20 Form
Wales defeated tournament hosts Georgia 25-24 in a dramatic opening Pool A match at Avchala Stadium in Tbilisi. Wales went into the break with a 15-12 lead, with tries from Caio James and Rhys Cummings and 15 points from fly-half Carwyn Leggat-Jones. Wales extended their lead to 25-17 with just five minutes remaining before being reduced to 13 players due to disciplinary issues.
Georgia capitalized on the numbers advantage and launched an aggressive final-minute attack that the Welsh withstood, securing a crucial Pool A win.
Wales will fancy their chances against Uruguay in their second Pool A match, as their opponents have been struggling to win any of their games recently, losing three of their previous four fixtures.
Uruguay U20 Form
Uruguay lost 104-7 in their opening match to South Africa in Tbilisi, after trailing 50-0 at half-time. Uruguay registered their only points late in the game with a try by Sebastián Dalmao.
Uruguay last played in a tournament at the 2024 World Rugby U20 Trophy. They lost 25-7 to Kenya, 32-15 to the USA, and beat the Netherlands 32-16 before losing 75-22 to Japan to finish fourth overall.
After winning just one of their previous four matches, Uruguay look very unlikely to pose much of a threat in their Pool A match against Wales.
