Portugal vs. Uruguay Tip

Details:

Cristiano Ronaldo is playing in his last World Cup and he hopes to take Portugal to the very end. Ronaldo scored in the opening 3-2 win over Ghana which is great for his confidence. The entire team played very well creating opportunities at will but the defense proved to be vulnerable. Goalkeeper Diogo Costa almost split the entire effort with a mistake at the stoppage time and only luck saved him from the most embarrassing moment of his career.

Having a two-point advantage in front of the competition puts Portugal in a great situation in front of this game as they are basically with one foot in the elimination phase.

Uruguay is a team that always shows up ready for the World Cup but it seems that wasn’t the case in the opener against South Korea. Uruguay was the better team on the pitch but failing to convert any of their opportunities put them in a very difficult situation going into the game against Portugal.

Uruguay has failed to score in 2 of the last 3 games but knowing the quality of their strikers they will get on the board many times in the remaining games.

Key facts

• Uruguay has won the only previous game against Portugal which was in the 1/8 of the previous World Cup when Edison Cavani scored twice in the 2-1 victory
• Nuno Mendes and Danilo Pereira are out for Portugal
• Ronald Araujo is out for Uruguay

Portugal is relatively in a good situation compared to Uruguay since they won the opening game. Uruguay is the team that needs to catch up. Portugal showed that they are vulnerable in the game against Ghana and Uruguay will try to take advantage of it.
