Uruguay finished second in Group F on six points after they smashed four unreplied goals past erstwhile group leaders Uzbekistan in their final group game on Saturday in Antalya.
Croatia won the group to avoid a second straight clash with Nigeria when they defeated New Zealand 2-1 in Bursa.
The Flying Eagles defeated the Croats 4-2 at Colombia 2011.
The winners of the match-up between Nigeria and Uruguay will advance to the quarter finals of the competition.
The South Americans started their campaign at Turkey 2013 on a losing note when they fell 1-0 to Croatia.
They then rallied back to beat New Zealand 2-0 before their convincing win over the Uzbeks on Saturday.
