Uruguay Portugal betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This game has a great tendency to be open and with several sets of danger, since the national teams have great competence in the attack. Despite this, we hope that the Portuguese national team will dominate and hold the best chances to score goals, as they have a squad with more technical and tactical quality. On the other hand, the Uruguayan national team should be more active in the counterattack, a transition in which they are very competent: Cavani and Suárez are real predators on the front lines. That said, all the conditions are met for the '' Both teams to score? - Yes '' to be a winner.

Analysis Uruguay

They come to this stage of the World Cup (8th Finals) after having finished the group stage in the 1st position of Group A, with 9 points won. Uruguay has won 6, tied 3 and lost 1 of the last 10 matches. They have presented defensive consistency, since they have only suffered goals in 3 of the last 10 matches, and their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. There is a tendency for goals in their matches, since 14 of the last 20 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 20 matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 9 of their 24 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Uruguay comes for this game motivated after having conquered the 1st position of Group A, the result of 3 wins in 3 games. We remember that the Uruguayans won the last game against the host Russia by 3-0: the goals were signed by Suárez, Cavani and Cheryshev (own-goal). In this game against Portugal, champion of Euro 2016, the strategy will be very similar to the last round, benefiting the organization of their block and counterattacks. Still, it is important to note that the Uruguayans have several weakness in maintaining ball possession and in the defensive transition. It is important to note that Uruguay is the only team that has not yet conceded a goal in this competition. For this game coach Óscar Tabárez should use an eleven very similar to the last game.

Confirmed Lineup: Fernando Muslera, Martín Cáceres, José Giménez, Diego Godín, Diego Laxalt, Lucas Torreira, Nahitan Nández, Rodrigo Bentancur, Matías Vecino, Luis Suárez, Edinson Cavani.

Portugal heads into this game with a 1-1 draw against Iran, thus adding the second draw in this 2018 World Cup: Ricardo Quaresma scored the only goal of the team. We remember that the Lusos finished in the 2nd position of Group B with 5 points conquered. In this game against Uruguay, coach Fernando Santos will play with a tactical system based on the 4-4-2, privileging the maintenance of ball possession and organized attacks, as he holds players very technically skilled: João Moutinho is the great organizer of the offensive process.
