Portugal vs Uruguay: prediction
Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to score in five World Cups when he netted against Ghana. Ronaldo, currently a free agent, and Portugal are aiming to top the group as they will take on the runner-up in Group G in the next round. Group G contains Brazil, Switzerland, Cameroon and Serbia, and avoiding Tite’s Brazil side will be key if Fernando Santos’ side are to progress to the latter rounds of the tournament.
Uruguay chase first win
Uruguay are under pressure already having picked up a point in their first match against South Korea. There is quality throughout the side, with the in-form Fede Valverde in midfield and Liverpool’s Darwin Núñez in attack. Uruguay can definitely cause the Portugal defence problems on Monday with the experienced Luis Suárez and Edinson Cavani both looking to open their 2022 World Cup accounts.
Prediction: Portugal 1-1 Uruguay
