Uruguay vs Cape Verde Prediction & Tips
Uruguay disappointed for large parts of their opener against Saudi Arabia. Notably, all four of their first-half shots inside the penalty area came from set pieces, a sign that Marcelo Bielsa’s side struggled to create from open play. Since Luis Suárez and Edinson Cavani have moved into international retirement, Uruguay now rely heavily on their midfield. Fede Valverde, Manuel Ugarte, and Rodrigo Bentancur form the backbone of Bielsa’s system.
Cape Verde, on the other hand, arrive with genuine momentum and belief. Their goalless draw against Spain was widely regarded as one of the greatest results in their World Cup history, with 40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha the standout hero. Beyond that result, Cape Verde have been in excellent form overall, winning three of their last five matches, including a 3-0 win over Bermuda and a 3-0 victory over Serbia.
