Portugal vs Uruguay 28.11.2022

Another tough test for Portugal as they take on Uruguay in their second game after their hard-fought 3-2 win over Ghana. Portugal may have been favorites in this group before the World Cup started but they know that every match could bring surprises if the results of the opening round of games are anything to go by. Nevertheless, coach Fernando Santos has a host of game-winners he can count on here, including Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, and of course Cristiano Ronaldo.

Uruguay are not short of match-winning stars either, with an attack led by Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez, Real Madrid’s Ernesto Valverde, and the experienced Luis Suarez. This is one of the reasons they scored 10 goals in their last 5 games before the World Cup kicked off. However, they drew a blank in their opening match, drawing 0-0 with South Korea. They will be hoping to get a goal or more in this match if they want to take something from it.

We foresee a cagey start to the match as both teams treat each other with respect in the opening minutes. Nevertheless, the game will eventually open up and we expect the second half will bring more goals than the first half.
