    Very fishy.. I'm amusing the teams maybe have an agreement so they both advance, that way Uruguay has no change of topping both of them.

    Or maybe books are just expecting both of them to play very cautiously...

    Its pretty standard. If two teams only need a point each to qualify so is mutually beneficial thn oddmakers always set the draw as likely result. Youll see it towards end of season in club leagues as well like serie a, serie b etc... And also Champs League. Sould bare in mind tht it isnt necesarily a lock tho. Its not like the bookies have inside info, majority of time they are basing it on assumptions such as gentleman's agreements between the two teams involved, and also pre-empting how the generel bettingpublic and the sharps are going to bet. An example of it not always working out is the Shakthar Juventus Champs League game last season. Both only needed a point to qualify and draw odds were set accordingly. And Juve went and won 1-0 in Donetsk

    There is only a chance that draw won't hit, a goal for a team in the 1st half for the lead. If it's drawing at HT, I expect both teams coaches to play even more cautiously and lower the tempo in the 2nd half to just draw the game.

    After looking at the table, I have changed my opinion. Ecuador has a +5 GD, Chile +3 and Uruguay -1. As long as both teams don't lose by 3 goals or more, they should both still go through even if there is a winner in their game. Uruguay will have to beat Argentina by at least 2 goals to overtake Chile(if they lose by 3 goals) and Ecuador(if they lose by 5 goals). Do I see that happening? Very slim chance.

    I think an under is a good bet here.
