Reason for Portugal vs Uruguay Predictions
If it had impressed observers by going to the end of Euro 2016, Portugal would have had a lot more trouble proving itself on the world stage. They never did better than 4th place in 2006 and remain on elimination from the round of 16 of the last edition against … Uruguay. 2nd in their qualifying group behind Serbia, Fernando Santos’ players had to beat Turkey 3-1 and North Macedonia 2-0 in quick succession in March to ensure their presence in Qatar. They then saw the Final Four of the League of Nations fly away from nothing, the fault of their defeat on the gong against Spain 0-1 in September. Portugal obviously has Cristiano Ronaldo but also a bunch of other unbelievable attacking players who will be able to score a goal against any opposition. Otavio shows talent, has excellent ball control, can play in multiple positions, and every team needs such a player. Joao Felix is a guy who causes a lot of problems for the opponent on the left side. He is fast and unstoppable in a one-on-one game. This year has seen Rui Patricio’s time as undisputed Portuguese no1 come to a close; Diogo Costa seems set to get the nod in goal.
Uruguay is yet to find the balance to win a huge tournament, as the team got eliminated early in the last Copa America last year. This is their chance to prove themselves, and their current form suggests that the team is one of the hidden favorites for the entire tournament. Their squad is stronger than it has been in a decade, with players like Darwin Nunez from Liverpool, Luis Suarez from Nacional, and Diego Godin from Velez Sarsfield. Uruguay is in its best shape in years right now, and they are the hidden contender to win this group. If they beat Portugal, we expect it to happen. Luis Suarez is the engine of this team, his greatest virtue is speed, he has excellent ball control and can be satisfied with his performance. Valverde plays well in the middle of the park, and he does not allow the opponent much action. The bench players are expected to show as much as possible and impose themselves on the coach for the starting lineup.
Conclusion
It is going to be an exciting clash, as Uruguay is not without a chance of remaining undefeated. However, we believe Portugal should meet the expectations and deliver a win.
This will be a big fight between these two rivals, and we should expect a goal from both teams. Football fans should enjoy this match and see at least a goal in each net.
