Portugal - Uruguay: prediction and tips at The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

We’ve completed the tips for the Portugal - Uruguay match in Group H at the World Championship in Qatar. The Portuguese have beaten Ghana (3:2), and Uruguay managed to be held to a draw by South Korea (0:0).

The Portuguese national team - Ronaldo sets records, Bruno Fernandes assists

The Portuguese national team beat Ghana (3:2), we did not expect to see that the Ghanaians scored two goals to the Portuguese. Portugal is on the seventh place in the UEFA ranking and in the ninth position in the FIFA ranking. The best scorer in Portugal is Cristiano Ronaldo, the best assistants are Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes (3 goal passes).

As expected, Portugal dominated while playing Ghana but let their opponents create moments at their goal. It’s interesting that in 3 shots on goal, Ghana managed to score twice.

A little statistics of the Portuguese national team: 2.3 goals on average in a match, scored at 8 out of 10 matches, missed 5 out of 10. Interesting outcomes are a loss from Switzerland (0:1) and a loss from Serbia (1:2). In Portugal, I would recommend watching Rafael Leão and João Félix if Ronaldo goes without saying.

The Uruguayan national team is equal to South Korean

The Uruguayan hold the fourteenth place in the FIFA ranking, they got qualified for the World Championship 2022 in Qatar with the help of a qualifier in South America. Uruguay took third place, 18 matches brought them 8 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses. The ratio of scored and missed goals is 22-22 (0).

A bit of statistics of the Uruguayan national team: 1.8 goals on average in a match, 7 scored goals out of 10 matches, missed 2 of 10. Evidently, the Uruguayan focus on defense, they miss very few shots. But for their performance with South Korea, we could believe in a miracle against the Portuguese national team.

The best scorers in Uruguay are Luis Suárez, Edinson Cavani and De Arrascaeta. The assistants are De Arrascaeta, Pellistri, Damián Suárez and Nahitan Nández.

Portugal - Uruguay: a bet for the match

The only recent face-to-face meeting between Portugal and Uruguay occurred in 2018. Then, at that World Championship the Uruguayan beat the Portuguese (2:1) at 1/8 of the final and kicked them out of the tournament. I think the Portuguese will treat it principal to defeat the Uruguayan national team. By the way, with Portugal beating Uruguay the Portuguese will be more likely to pass to the playoff with the first place.

Portugal have much stronger individual performers than Uruguay. However, some of them missed two goals against Ghana while the other played 0:0 with South Korea.

We should highlight these outcomes for the Portugal - Uruguay match:

• Portugal wins for 1.95 (the most likely outcome)
• Total over 2 for 1.64
• Both will score for 1.96
