This week brings another set of group games for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, with Uruguay facing Portugal in a Group H matchup at the Lusail Stadium on Monday. This year, Portugal has a star-studded team at their disposal and is currently leading their FIFA World Cup group. In their previous match, the Iberian giants edged Ghana to a crucial 3-2 victory and will attempt to up the ante in this second encounter.
On the other hand, Uruguay is in desperate need of a boost after a disappointing start to its World Cup campaign. The South American team, which played South Korea to a 0-0 draw last week, will need to play well in this game.
Prediction
Portugal is currently in the midst of a second golden generation, so they will need to make the most of their talent. With his goal against Ghana, Cristiano Ronaldo will hope to regain his confidence ahead of a potentially exhausting tournament schedule. Uruguay have tortured European adversaries before and are probably going to utilize one more low block in this apparatus. The South Americans are hazardous on the counter and might actually keep Portugal under control with a low-scoring draw on Monday.
Prediction: Portugal 1-1 Uruguay
