Uruguay vs. Cape Verde World Cup Preview
Bielsa and his team have to win here, because another failure would mean that the two-time World champs might end their participation in the group stage. Meanwhile, after getting one point against Spain, Cape Verde’s morale is extremely high.

Uruguay Team News & Stats
The Uruguayan team has performed poorly in the opener, playing to a 1-1 draw against Saudi Arabia. We aren’t underestimating the Saudi team, but the Uruguayans were heavy favorites ahead of that clash, which ended in a surprising result.
This was the 5th straight game for Marcelo Bielsa’s team without a win. They would lose only once during that stretch, and post 4 ties along the way. Also, four of those meetings saw under 2.5 hits.
Likely Lineup: Muslera; Varela, Caceres, Bueno, Olivera; Valverde, Ugarte, Bentancur, M Araujo; Vinas, Nunez
Cape Verde Team News & Stats
The boys from Cape Verde aren’t kidding at all. They had three wins in a row before coming to the United States, and then held out to a tie against the European champions, Spain.
It was 0-0 against the Red Fury, and, may we add, Cape Verde, looked very, very good in terms of tactics and discipline. They weren’t dirty or anything, but slowed down Spain fair and square. We have to credit their goalkeeper, Vozinha, who was masterful.
Likely Lineup: Vozinha; Moreira, Costa, Pico, Paulo; Semedo, Pina; Mendes, Monteiro, Cabral; Dailon
Head to Head Stats
There haven’t been any games between Uruguay and Cape Verde in the past.
Uruguay vs. Cape Verde World Cup Predictions
There’s no room for error for Uruguay here. This is their be or not to be, and we have to back up Bielsa’s team. We are aware that the FIFA rankings don’t mean a thing, but Uruguay is 16th while Cape Verde sits 67th, and that pretty much says everything regarding this clash.
